ETHERNET LINECARD OVERVIEW

There are two parts to the processing functionality of the Switch - the Control Plane and the Data PlaneSWITCH CONTROL PLANESWITCH DATA PLANESwitch Features that are processed in SOFTWARE by a CPU

There are two control planes the Switch Processor Control Plane (SP) which processes software based Layer 2 features the Route Processor Control Plane (RP) which processes software based Layer 3 featuresSwitch Features that are processed in HARDWARE by Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs)

Catalyst 6500 Linecards Centralized Forwarding Cards (CFC)The Centralized Forwarding Card (CFC) provides BUS connectivity for the CEF720 linecardsThe CFC is available on CEF720 linecards and provides the connection to the Classic BUS

CFC is used to communicate with the Supervisor when centralized forwarding is used

Catalyst 6500 Linecards Classic LinecardsThe Classic linecard connects to the 16Gb BUS - typically it has a number of Port ASICs on board that provide this connection as well as providing the front facing ports that hosts connect intoDBUSRBUSEOBCSupervisorPORTPORTPORTPORTLinecardThe BUS is often referred to as a 32Gb BUS

It is in fact a 16Gb BUS however, as it supports Full Duplex communication is was marketed as 32Gb (i.e. 16Gb Read + 16Gb Write) 16Gb BUSCatalyst 6500 Linecards Classic Linecards - WS-X6196-RJ-21

CFC / DFCOVERVIEWAgenda TopicsCatalyst 6500 Linecards Distributed Forwarding Card 4 (DFC4)The DFC4 is an option for CEF720 linecards - it is used to provide local forwarding lookups for the linecard to incrementally boost overall switch performance - if installed on a CEF720 linecard, it takes the place of the CFCThe DFC4 supports forwarding rates up to 60Mpps

The DFC4 also stores a local copy of the forwarding tables, as well as Security and QoS ACLs that are centrally defined

The DFC4 is located underneath a protective cover that protects the daughtercard from getting damaged when the linecard is inserted or removed from a chassis

The DFC4 will NOT be field upgradableTwo different versions of the DFC are supported

POWER OVER ETHERNETOVERVIEWAgenda Topics

Catalyst 6500 Linecards Understanding IP Phone SupportThere are three main areas where the switch interacts with the Cisco IP Phone they are in the areas of delivery of inline power ,VLAN tagging, and extended trust settings. Primary VLANAuxiliary (Voice) VLANInline power delivery to power the PhoneRe-tagging packets from downstream device to a value pre-determined by the administratorSegregated VLANs for Voice and Data traffic

Catalyst 6500 Linecards Inline Device DiscoveryWhen a switchport configured for inline power comes online, the switch will send a Fast Link Pulse (FLP) to the attached device in the Cisco IP phone, it will loop the FLP back to the switch, indicating its inline power capable - at this point the switch is ready to deliver inline power IP Phone Switch PortRXTXFLPFLPIts an inline device

Catalyst 6500 Linecards Default Inline AllocationWhen a switch port is enabled for inline power, upon discovery of an attached inline device, it will deliver a default amount of power to the attached device - 12345678Switch PortEach UTP cable contains 8 wires On the Catalyst 6500 Inline powered capable line cards, inline power is delivered over pins 1, 2, 3 and 612345678The default inline power allocation is 15 Watts once the inline device is enabled, it will use CDP to adjust its power to the actual requirement of the inline device

Catalyst 6500 Linecards Adjusting the Default Inline AllocationAfter the phone is powered up, it will use Cisco Device Protocol (CDP) to instruct the switch to adjust the delivered power to a specific value non IEEE and IEEE based Cisco phones will negotiate the default allocation of 15.4 Watts down to their required power value. This allows the switch to avoid wasting unnecessary powerHere is the default allocation of 15.4WCan you adjust the power down to 12WSure power now delivered at 12W

Provides up to 30W (IEEE Class 4) for up to 48 ports of the WS-X6148B-GE-45AT linecard

Requires E-Series Chassis and 8700W Power Supply to support 48 ports at 30W

Supported in linecards for both 6500 and 6500-E chassis
