SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Modular Architecture

The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series is a modular system that can grow as customer requirements expand and technology evolves, allowing customers to upgrade and reconﬁgure systems by addingnew modules, replacingexisting modules, and adding and redeploying systems. Throughout the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series, modules are:

• Conﬁgurable—Separately, simplifying the addition of new services

• Interoperable—In the same chassis, providing ﬂexible design options

• Interchangeable—Among Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series systems, simplifying sparing and network expansion

• Hot-swappable—Without requiring a chassis to be powered off, providing fast upgrade and repair

• Upgradable—As newer modules come along, providing investment protection

Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Hardware-Forwarding Architectures

Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series modules use one of three forwarding technologies, each having a different architecture with different characteristics and capabilities:

• Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)—Scaling to 30 Mpps, this technology uses a central CEF Cisco Express Forwarding engine located on the supervisor engine’s policy feature card (PFC) daughter and CEF forwarding tables located on the supervisor engine. The supervisor engine makes all forwarding decisions for all interface modules centrally. For more information see How Cisco Express Forwarding Works.

• Accelerated Cisco Express Forwarding (aCEF)—Suited for high-performance enterprise environments, this technology uses the aCEF engine and aCEF tables located on the interface module, along with the central CEF engine located on the supervisor engine’s PFC daughter card and central CEF forwarding tables located on the supervisor engine. The interface module makes high-volume forwarding decisions locally, and the supervisor engine makes the rest of the forwarding decisions centrally. For more information see How Accelerated Cisco

Express Forwarding (aCEF) Works.

• Distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (dCEF)—Suited for the most demanding environments, this technology uses the dCEF engine located on the interface module’sdistributed forwarding card (DFC) daughter card and the dCEF table, a local copy of the supervisor engine’s central CEF table located on the interface module’s DFC. The interface module makes all the forwarding decisions locally,andprovides maximum performance and scalability. For more information see How Distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (dCEF) Works.

Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switching Architectures

Cisco developed the following switching architectures for Cisco Catalyst 6500 modules to allow platforms to scale in any deployment:

• 32-Gbps bus—Allowing access to a central shared bus

• 256-Gbps switch fabric—Located on the switch fabric module (SFM)

• 720 Gbps switch fabric—Located on Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720

Cisco Systems, Inc.

• Classic Interface Modules—Use the centralized CEF engine located on the supervisor engine’s PFC, connect to the 32-Gbps switching bus only, and forward packets at up to 15 Mpps

• CEF256 Interface Modules—Use the centralized CEF engine located on the supervisor engine’s PFC, connect to both the 256-Gbps fabric located on the supervisor engine with a single 8-Gbps full-duplex fabric connection and the 32-Gbps switching bus, and forward packets at up to 30 Mpps

• dCEF256 Interface Modules—Use the distributed CEF engine on the DFC (located on the interface module), connect to a 256-Gbps fabric located on the supervisor engine or a Switch Fabric Module with 16-Gbps full-duplex fabric connections, and forward packets at up to 210 Mpps

• aCEF720 Interface Modules—Use the accelerated CEF engine on the DFC3 (located on the interface module), connect to the 720-Gbps fabric located on the supervisor engine with 40-Gbps full-duplex fabric connections, and forward packets at up to 400 Mpps, peak performance

• dCEF720 Interface Modules—Use the distributed CEF engine on the DFC3 (located on the interface module), connect to the 720-Gbps fabric located on the supervisor engine with dual 20-Gbps full-duplex fabric connections, and forward packets at up to 400 Mpps, sustained performance

Note: All Performance numbers refer to IPv4 forwarding.

CISCO CATALYST 6500 SERIES MODULE TYPES

Inthe Cisco Catalyst 6500 Seriesarchitecture, special-purpose modules perform separate tasks—allowing the feature settoevolve quickly and allowing customers to addnewfeatures and enhanced performance by adding new modules. The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series features the following types of special-purpose modules:

• Supervisorengines—Performthecontrol functions and make the forwarding decisions for packets routed to other networks

• Ethernet interface modules—Provide IEEE-standard receive and forwarding interfaces and forward packets within the deﬁned network

• WAN interface modules—Provide the receive and forwarding interface at the WAN edge

• Services modules—Support multigigabit security, application-aware Layer 4 through 7 content switching, wireless LAN services, network management, and voice gateway services to traditional phones, fax machines, PBXs, and the PSTN

• Switch Fabric Modules (SFMs)—Pass network trafﬁc from interface module to the supervisor engine or to another interface

Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engines

The supervisor engines for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series support different forwarding technologies and achieve different forwarding rates, depending on the conﬁguration of the supervisor engine and the capability of a particular interface module.

Cisco Systems, Inc.

Page 10 of 29

Page 11

Supervisor engines can be conﬁgured with optional factory-installed daughter cards—a Policy Feature Card (PFC) providing hardware-based Layer-2 forwarding, and a Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC) providing Layer 3 capabilities.

A supervisor engine performs control operations centrally on processors that run either Cisco IOS Software or Cisco Catalyst Operating System Software while special-purpose application-speciﬁc integrated circuits (ASICs) perform bridging and routing (based on Cisco Express Forwarding), QoS markingand policing, and access control. The same ASICs are used on the DFCs, daughter cards that can be installed on certain interface modules to distribute forwarding in a decentralized fashion to achieve system forwarding rates of up to 400 Mpps (Table 2).

Designed to support new interface modules with 720 Gbps forwarding capabilities, the Supervisor Engine 720’s onboard switch fabric increases available bandwidth to 720 Gbps and enables packet forwarding rates up to 400 Mpps. By using auto-sensing and auto-negotiation, the Supervisor 720 switch fabric is fully interoperable with the 8- and 16-Gbps switch fabric interconnections used by the CEF256 and dCEF256 interface modules. When a CEF256 or dCEF256 interface module is detected, the switch fabric will automatically connect those modules by offering 8-16 Gbps of bandwidth to each module, as applicable.

How Cisco Express Forwarding Works

Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is a Layer 3 technology that provides increased forwarding scalability and performance to handle many short-duration trafﬁc ﬂows common in today’s enterprise and service provider networks. Tomeetthe needs of environments handling large amounts of short-ﬂow,Web-based,orhighly interactive types of trafﬁc, CEF forwards all packets in hardware, and maintains its forwarding rate completely independent of the number of ﬂows going though the switch.

On the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series, the CEF Layer 3 forwarding engine is located centrally on the supervisor engine’s PFC2 or PFC3—the same device that performs hardware-based Layer 2 and 3 forwarding, ACL checking, QoS policing and marking, and NetFlow statistics gathering.

Using the routing table that Cisco IOS Software builds to deﬁne conﬁgured interfaces and routing protocols,the CEF architecture creates CEF tables and downloads them into the hardware-forwarding engine before any user trafﬁc is sent through the switch. The CEF architecture places only the routing preﬁxes in its CEF tables—the only information it requires to make the Layer 3 forwarding decisions—relying on the routing protocols to do route selection. By performing a simple CEF table lookup, the switch forwards packets at wire-rate, independent of the number of ﬂows transiting the switch.

CEF-based forwarding requirements: Requires a Cisco Catalyst Supervisor Engine 2 or Catalyst Supervisor Engine 720.

How Accelerated Cisco Express Forwarding (aCEF) Works

Accelerated Cisco Express Forwarding (aCEF) technology uses two forwarding engines working together in a master-slave relationship to accelerate high-rate trafﬁc ﬂows through the switch—a central CEF engine located on the Supervisor Engine 720’s PFC3 and a scaled-down distributed aCEF engine located on the interface module.

The central PFC3 makes the initial forwarding decision, with the aCEF engine storing the result and making subsequent packet-forwarding decisions locally. aCEF forwarding works like this:

• As in standard CEF forwarding, the central PFC3 is loaded with the necessary CEF information before any user trafﬁc arrives at the switch.

• As trafﬁc arrives on an aCEF720 interface module, the aCEF engine inspects the packet, and ﬁnding that no speciﬁc packet forwarding information exists, consults the central PFC3.

• The PFC3 makes a hardware-based forwarding decision for this packet (including Layer 2, Layer 3, ACLs, and QoS).

• The aCEF engine stores the forwarding decision results and makes forwarding decisions locally for subsequent packets based on packet-ﬂow history.

• The aCEF engine handles hardware-based Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding, ACLs, QoS marking, and NetFlow.

• The central PFC3 processes any forwarding decisions that the interface module’s aCEF engine cannot handle.

aCEF-based forwarding requirements: Requires a Cisco Catalyst Supervisor Engine 720 and aCEF720 (WS-X67xx) class modules.

How Distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (dCEF) Works

With Distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (dCEF), forwarding engines located on the interface modules make forwarding decisions locally and in parallel, allowing the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series to achieve the highest forwarding rates in the industry. With dCEF, forwarding occurs on the interface modules in parallel and system performance scales up to 400 Mpps—the aggregate of all forwarding engines working together.

Using the same ASIC engine design as the central PFCx, DFCs located on the interface modules forward packets between two ports, directly or across the switch fabric, without involving the supervisor engine. With the DFC, each interface module has a dedicated forwarding engine complete with the full forwarding tables. dCEF forwarding works like this:

• As in standard CEF forwarding, the central PFC3 located on the supervisor engine and the DFC engines located on the interface modules are loaded with the same CEF information derived from the forwarding table before any user trafﬁc arrives at the switch.

• As a packet arrives at an interface module, its DFC engine inspects the packet and uses the information in the CEF table (including Layer 2, Layer 3, ACLs, and QoS) to make a completely hardware-based forwarding decision for that packet.

• The dCEF engine handles all hardware-based forwarding for trafﬁc on that module, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding, ACLs, QoS policing and marking, and NetFlow.

• Because the DFCs make all the switching decisions locally, the supervisor engine is freed from all forwarding responsibilities and can perform other software-based functions, including routing, management, and network services.

CISCO IOS SOFTWARE AND CATALYST OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE

Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches offer two operating modes of software, the Cisco Catalyst Operating System Software with optional Cisco IOS Software on the MSFC, and Cisco IOS Software for the supervisor engines. Each operating mode can be deployed at different hierarchies of the network, depending on the network’s requirements. These software solutions for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches provide full Layer 2 through 4 switching and routing functions at high performances.

Today, either of these operating modes can be deployed in an entire network environment, or the operating modes canvarywithin an environment to meet different requirements. One operating modeisnotareplacement for another, but is recommended for varying feature requirements.
