FlexWAN Module and Enhanced FlexWAN
Modules
This chapter describes the FlexWAN and Enhanced FlexWAN modules.
The FlexWAN and Enhanced FlexWAN modules are installed in a Catalyst 6500 series switch or
Cisco
7600 series router that has a supervisor engine with a Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC) and
Policy Feature Card (PFC). The MSFC, in conjunction with the Enhanced FlexWAN module, provides
multiprotocol routing support with full Internet route connectivity for speeds ranging from serial RS-232
to OC-3. The FlexWAN and Enhanced FlexWAN modules can accept up to two Cisco
7200/7500 WAN
port adapters, which deliver WAN consolidation and extend quality of service (QoS) and traffic
management capabilities over WAN segments. The FlexWAN and Enhanced FlexWAN modules support
ATM and POS OC-3 links and channelized, clear-channel port adapters at speeds from DS0 to T3/E3.
The Enhanced FlexWAN module also provides connectivity to the crossbar fabric and enhancements in
processor speed and onboard memory.
Table 4-1 shows the port adapters supported on the FlexWAN module.
Note A FlexWAN or Enhanced FlexWAN module without port adapters inserted is not a supported configuration.
