The Cisco WS-X45-SUP7-E is the Supervisor Engine 7-E for the Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series modular Ethernet switches. It provides the central switching, routing, management, and control functions for compatible Catalyst 4500E chassis.
Cisco specifies a total switching capacity of up to 848 Gbps and forwarding performance of up to 250 Mpps for IPv4 and 125 Mpps for IPv6. The supervisor includes a dual-core 1.5 GHz processor and onboard DRAM configurable from 1 GB up to 2 GB.
The front panel includes console connectivity, USB ports, a Secure Digital slot, a 10/100/1000 management port, and four 1G/10G uplink interfaces using SFP/SFP+ optics.
The WS-X45-SUP7-E is supported across the Catalyst 4500E, R-E and R+E chassis families, with specific slot restrictions depending on the chassis model.
