Catalyst 6500 SUP32 performance < Cat4500???

[wmmak]

Hi all,

According to the data sheet, SUP32 provides 32Gbps and 15Mpps, is it per system basis?

If so, then it cannot allocate dedicated bandwidth per slot?

Is it mean that SUP32 cannot support, e.g. 48-port 1000BaseT wire-speed?

I am confused about SUP32 architecture.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best Regards,

Mak,

Sup32 supports only 32 GBPS backplane forwarding bandwidth. There will be an oversubscription of ports for the above module.

HTH, Please rate if it does.
