Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL

Product Overview

The Cisco® Catalyst® 6807-XL Modular Switch is built for the next-generation campus network. It is based on the proven DNA of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch, providing high levels of scalability and performance. It offers unprecedented investment protection for migrations and upgrades from the Cisco Catalyst 6500-E Series Switch.

The Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL chassis is capable of delivering up to 11.4 Terabits per second (Tbps) of system bandwidth capacity and up to 880 Gigabits per second (Gbps) of per-slot bandwidth. In a system configured for VSS (Virtual Switching System), this translates to a system capacity of 22.8 Tbps. The switch is optimized for high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, and is ready to support 100 Gigabit Ethernet.

Key Features and Benefits

• Scalability and Performance: Delivers up to 11.4 Tbps of system bandwidth and 880 Gbps per slot to scale for future needs. It supports high-density Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet configurations.

• Investment Protection: Supports the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 2T and its family of line cards and service modules, allowing for simple and fast campus backbone upgrades.

• High Availability and Resiliency:

  • 1+1 Supervisor Engine Redundancy: Decreases supervisor engine switchover time to between 50 and 200 ms.

  • Redundant Power Supplies: Provides N+1 power supply redundancy.

  • Redundant Fans: Features a hot-swappable fan tray with variable speed fans that can handle individual fan failures (N+1 redundancy).

• Compact Form Factor: At 10 rack units (10RU), the chassis is smaller than the Cisco Catalyst 6506-E chassis while providing an extra slot.
