Ta b l e 1-1 Features of the Catalyst 4503 Switch
Feature Description
Ethernet speeds • Ethernet (10BASE-T) interface to workstations and repeaters
• Fast Ethernet (100BASE-T) interface to workstations, servers, switches,
and routers
Note Autonegotiation of link speed on each 10/100 port allows migration to
100BASE-T from a 10BASE-T installed base.
• Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-X) interfaces for
backbone interconnection of high-performance workstations, servers,
switches and routers
• 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for backbone interconnection of
high-performance switches and routers
Standard equipment • Three-slot modular chassis with one slot reserved for a supervisor engine
and two slots for switching modules
• One hot-swappable fan assembly
• Two power supply bays
Power supplies • Supports a 1000 W, 1300 W, 1400 W, 2800 W, or 4200W AC-input power
supply or a 1400 W DC-input single input or triple-input power supply

• Optional redundant power supply
Supervisor engine
support
• Supports the WS-X4013+, WS-X4013+TS, WS-X4013+10GE,
WS-X4515, WS-X4516, WS-X4516-10GE, and WS-X45-Sup6-E
supervisor engines
• Holds the ASIC-based forwarding engine (data path) and the management
processor and software (control path)
• Features interface monitoring, environmental status, and SNMP and
console/Telnet interface
Note Packets are not forwarded while the module is removed; a system
reboot occurs when a supervisor engine is reinserted.
