FlexWAN Module (WS-X6182-2PA)
The FlexWAN module (WS-X6182-2PA) is installed in a switch that has a
supervisor engine with an MSFC and a PFC. (See Figure 1-39.) The MSFC, in
conjunction with the FlexWAN module, provides multiprotocol routing support
with full Internet route connectivity for speeds ranging from serial RS-232 to
OC-3. The FlexWAN module can accept up to two Cisco 7200/7500 WAN port
adapters, which deliver WAN consolidation and extend QoS and
traffic-management capabilities over WAN segments. The FlexWAN module
supports ATM and Packet-over-SONET (POS) OC-3 links and channelized,
multichannel, and clear channel port adapters. Table 1-8 lists the supported
adapters.
