Performance and Port Density
When to Buy
• Basic features at entry level price point; for smaller scale Layer 2 wiring closets
• Simple Layer 3 Routing (RIP, static routes)
• No NetFlow support
• For Catalyst 4503, 4506, 4507R chassis
• For the Catalyst 4503, use the Supervisor II-Plus-TS for increase GE ports (116 ports)
• Optimized for the LAN access in a medium-sized enterprise
• Need for 10Gig bandwidth in a L2 network
• Medium wiring closets and L3 networks
• Designed with extra headroom for future QoS and Security features
• Enhanced L3 Routing: OSPF, IS-IS, BGP
• For Catalyst 4503, 4506, and 4507R chassis
• For Catalyst 4510R support, the Supervisor V (non-10GE) is an alternative option
• Most efficient processing of QoS and Security services with increased scalability
• Support for greater than 244 ports
• Users interested in NetFlow for virus-detection and Per User Rate Limiting
• Faster L2/L3 control plane processing and convergence
• More granular L2/L3 data capture
• Required for Catalyst 4510R
Cisco Catalyst 4510R
