Cisco WS-F6K-DFC4-E

The Cisco WS-F6K-DFC4-E is a Distributed Forwarding Card (DFC) module designed for use with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. It provides high-performance forwarding capabilities for line cards in the switch, offloading the forwarding tasks from the supervisor engine. The WS-F6K-DFC4-E is specifically designed for use with the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720-3B/3BXL and supports various line cards, including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. It enhances the forwarding performance and scalability of the switch, allowing for higher throughput and lower latency. The DFC module is hot-swappable, meaning it can be inserted or removed from the switch without disrupting the operation of other modules. It also supports features like Quality of Service (QoS), security, and multicast, making it suitable for enterprise and service provider networks that require high-performance forwarding capabilities.
