Service Providers
For service providers, the 100BASE-X module is targeted for the metro Ethernet access layer as well as cable distribution hubs (DHUBs) or
headends for cable companies. The Cisco Catalyst 6500 100BASE-X module offers superior traffic management with support of 4 transmit queues
per port with 1 strict priority queue for QoS. Each port supports Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) for congestion avoidance within each
queue, and DWRR for scheduling between queues to aid in traffic prioritization. Up to 8 thresholds can be configured to manage differentiated
levels of service. The 100BASE-X module is also hardware-capable to support per-port VLAN ID translation (8 subports share a translation table
with 64 entries) and the ability to map the inner class of service (CoS) to the outer CoS (CoS mutation) for 802.1Q-in-802.1Q (QinQ) deployments.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Fiber-Based Classic 100BASE-X, 100BASE-FX, and 10BASE-FL Ethernet Interface Modules
Designed for deployment in LAN access where optical interfaces are required and for metro Ethernet access, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Classic
10- and 100-Mbps Ethernet fiber-based interface modules provide 10- or 100-Mbps Ethernet forwarding with the following operational advantages
and characteristics (refer to Table 2):
Forwarding architecture—Use centralized Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)
Forwarding performance—Forward packets up to 15 Mpps per system
Bus connection—Connect using a 32-Gbps shared bus connection
Supervisor engine—Work with Supervisor Engine 1A, Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 32, or Supervisor Engine 720
Distributed forwarding upgrade—None; Classic interface modules cannot be upgraded for distributed forwarding
Slot requirements—Can occupy any slot in any Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series chassis.
Maximum port density per chassis—up to 576 ports per Cisco Catalyst 6513 chassis, and up to 384 ports per Cisco Catalyst 6509 chassis.
Note:
No inline power support for voice is available for 100BASE-X, 100BASE-FX, and 10BASE-FL fiber modules.
