Supervisor Engine 2T
Supervisor Engine 2T
The Supervisor Engine 2T is the newest addition to the family of supervisor engines. The Supervisor
Engine 2T is designed to deliver higher performance, better scalability, and enhanced hardware-enabled
features. Supervisor Engine 2T integrates a high-performance 2-Terabit crossbar switch fabric that
enables 80 Gbps switching capacity per slot on 7609-S chassis. The forwarding engine on Supervisor
Engine 2T is capable of delivering high-performance forwarding for Layer 2 and Layer 3 services.
Supervisor Engine 2T delivers many new hardware-enabled innovations in the areas of security, quality
of service (QoS), virtualization, and manageability. The rich feature set of Supervisor Engine 2T
enhances applications such as traditional IP forwarding, Layer 2 and Layer 3 Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS) VPNs, and VPLS.
This section describes the Supervisor Engine 2T (see Figure 2-7). Table 2-2 describes the controls and
features on the front panel, and Table 2-3 describes the LEDs.

Component Description
Status LEDs
Indicate the status of various functions on the module (see Table 2-9).
Reset Button
Restarts the router. Use a ballpoint pen tip or other small, pointed object to
access the Reset button. Not all modules have a Reset button.
CompactFlash
Disk Slots
One slots for flash memory cards. Do not remove the card from the slot
while the disk LED is on. See the “Using Flash Memory Cards” section
on page 3-12 for information about working with flash memory.
Console Port
Provides access to the router. The port is an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous,
serial connection with hardware flow control and an RJ-45 connector. See
the “Connecting to the Console Port” section on page 3-9 for instructions
on connecting to the console port.
Uplink Ports
Connects the router to other network devices. SUP-2T has two 10GE and
three 1GE uplink ports. The two 10GE ports use X2 as transceiver, and
the three 1GE ports use SFP. The uplink ports are configurable with SFP
or X2 optics modules. See the “Connecting to the Uplink Ports” section
on page 3-10 for more information.
