Catalyst 4507R-E Switch Features
The Catalyst 4507R-E switch (see Figure 1-3) is a seven-slot switch designed for high-performance
high-density wiring closet applications.
Figure 1-3 Catalyst 4507R-E Switch (Front View)
The Catalyst 4507R-E switch supports the Supervisor Engine II+, Supervisor Engine IV, Supervisor
Engine V, Supervisor Engine V-10GE, and Supervisor Engine 6-E. The supervisor engine has two
Gigabit Ethernet ports and a nonblocking, full-duplex, switching fabric that provides connections
between the supervisor engine and the switching modules. Some supervisor engines use SFP modules
for Gigabit Ethernet connections or X2 modules for 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections. Refer to the
installation note for your supervisor engine for more details on these modules.
Slot 3 is reserved for the supervisor engine only, which provides switching, local and remote
management, and switch-status monitoring. Slot 4 is reserved for a redundant supervisor engine only.
Slots
1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 are available for switching modules and provide 24 Gbps per slot for a maximum
of 240 ports and 4 uplinks.
