I would like to know what is required to attach a power over ethernet wireless access points to a Cisco 4500E switch. Is it as simple as connecting a ethernet cable between the wireless access point and the Cisco 4500E switch? Or do we need to purchase additional power over ethernet equipment to install on our rack? I am looking to purchase a Linksys Wireless-N Access Point with Dual-Band WAP610N access point. Is this access point compatible with Cisco's 4500E switch?

Hi,

I would like to know if there is any planned increase in the maximum number of supported etherchannels (currently 64) with sup7-e.

Also, would you recommend sup7-e as a collapsed core/distribution/datacenter switch for a small/medium company (100 persons, ~300 devices, no SAN)?

Can you comment on the reliability and high availability of a dual sup7-e on a single 4510R+E chassis for datacenter workloads?

Thanks.

Hello,

I see the maximum switching of the Supervisor 7-E is 848 Gbps. If the largest chassis is 10 slots and they are 48Gbps each how would you be able to get 848 Gbps of data in to the switch?

Thank you!

hi,

Why no one can respond at the question asked by Mr Ian Newman ? :

I  see the maximum switching of the Supervisor 7-E is 848 Gbps. If the  largest chassis is 10 slots and they are 48Gbps each how would you be  able to get 848 Gbps of data in to the switch?

i had the same question ?

Best regards

Hi there,

A 4510R+E you can have 8 line cards plus 2 Sup7e.

The Sup supports 48Gbps per line cards, and each Sup7e can use 20Gbps in redundant configurations. This is for each traffic direction, so you need double that as bandwidth.

So, the total system bandwith will be (48*8 + 20*2)*2 = 848Gbps.

Regards.

Hi,

Been trying to clarify the features; looks like the SUP7-E has not been added as main platform on Cisco Feature Navigator. What I'm looking for is the support of EIGRP on the Universal or IP Base Image. I used the latest available; which is SUP6-E with IP Base.

It mentions of EIGRP stub and EIGRP Support for route map filtering.

While using Route-Map Filtering, features of EIGRP are normally there.

Do we have all features of EIGRP available; if not, what are the limitations?

Thanx and regards,

Ravi

It appears that EIGRP is available fully in the SUP7E, but you have to upgrade to IP Base, then to Enterprise Services.  EIGRP stub routing is available in the IP Base upgrade.  We looked at upgrading from LAN Base to IP Base for certain capabilities, but the license was very cost prohibitive.  The SUP7E uses universal images now and it comes with LAN Base.  You have to purchase IP Base or Enterprise Services to acquire those features.
