The Cisco® Catalyst® 6800 Supervisor Engine 6T (Figure 1) is the newest addition to the family of supervisor engines. The Supervisor Engine 6T is designed to deliver higher performance, better scalability, and enhanced hardware-enabled features. Supervisor Engine 6T integrates a 6-Terabit crossbar switch fabric that enables high performance on the Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL Chassis in active-standby mode. The forwarding engine on Supervisor Engine 6T is capable of delivering high-performance forwarding for Layer 2 and Layer 3 services. The rich feature set of Supervisor Engine 6T supports existing applications such as traditional IP forwarding, Layer 2 and Layer 3 Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs, VPLS, MACSEC while supporting new features such as Instant Access, SGT, Hardware-Enabled BFD Offload and In-band Span. The Cisco Catalyst 6800 Supervisor Engine 6T and all the features and the technical advancements establish product leadership in next-generation enterprise campus deployments.
