Description
The Cisco WS-F6700-CFC is a Centralized Forwarding Card designed for use with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches, specifically to enhance performance and scalability in high-demand enterprise and service provider environments. It enables centralized forwarding for line cards that support distributed forwarding, allowing them to operate in a centralized mode for consistent packet forwarding. This module is ideal for networks where centralized processing is preferred or required due to specific design or policy needs. With its compact design, it fits directly into compatible line cards, optimizing slot space while maintaining high throughput.
Technically, the WS-F6700-CFC supports up to 30 Mpps (million packets per second) of centralized forwarding capacity, depending on the supervisor engine and configuration. It is compatible with Supervisor Engine 720 and integrates seamlessly with WS-X67xx series line cards. The card includes onboard forwarding logic and interfaces with the switch fabric to provide high-speed data transfer across the chassis. Buyers seeking used network hardware will appreciate its reliability, solid build quality, and ability to extend the life of existing Cisco 6500 Series infrastructure.
