Does anyone know if there are available fabric-enabled 10/100/1000 48-port cards for 6509's with sup 2's?

It is fabric-enabled. It has a dedicated 8Gbps port to the fabric.

Hi
As Edison says it is fabric-enabled but it does have quite a limitation in that it shares a 1Mb buffer between 8 ports.
Any 67xx module only works with the sup720.

WS-X6548-GE-TX, however you will also need a SFM module (WS-X6500-SFM2) as the Supervisor II does not have a fabric connection to the chassis.

Thank you, but this card doesn't seem to be fabric-enabled. I did, however, find the WS-X6748-GE-TX, which looks as if it is fabric-enabled. I wonder if it will work with Sup II's?

Edison - is this card, WS-X6548-GE-TX, end of life?
And thank you very much for your quick responses.

Hello,
Does the oversubsription rate on each port (1.2:1) only come into play if the 40 limit is reached?

8Gbps connection to switch fabric.
48 ports.
So each group of 6 ports will get 1Gbps shared between them to the switch fabric. So if you want to avoid oversubscription you can use just 8 ports and each of those ports would get 1Gbps dedicated.
Note that depending on the module the port groups are not necessarily sequential and from memory i can't recall how the port groups are made up on a 6548.

Jon,
On the 6548, they are grouped sequentially.
1-8
9-16
17-24
25-32
33-40
41-48

Thanks Edison, i can never remember these without looking them up :)

I used to post information without looking it up, until you correct me on the 6548 being fabric on a previous post :)

Hi,
Sorry I should have been more specific...
using a WS-X6748-GE-TX card in a sup-720-3b

In which case you are right about it being 40 ports as the 6748 has 2 x 20Gbps connections to the switch fabric.
I'm going to leave it to Edison for the port groupings :)
