Product Overview
Network traffic has grown exponentially over the last several years, and this trend is expected to continue into the
foreseeable future. By 2016, there will be 19 billion networked devices, up from 10 billion in 2011. Business IP traffic is
expected to reach 13.1 exabytes per month in 20161. Networks must be capable of scaling well beyond the needs of today
to deal with the traffic of tomorrow while at the same time providing investment protection.

With this in mind, Cisco is introducing the Cisco® Catalyst® 6807-XL Modular Switch for the next-generation campus. The
Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL Modular Switch is built on the rich Cisco DNA of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch and
provides high levels of scalability and performance. The Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL Modular Switch provides unprecedented
investment protection for migrations and upgrades from the Cisco Catalyst 6500-E Series Switch.

The Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL chassis (Figure 1) is built to be capable of delivering up to 11.4 Terabits per second (Tbps) of
system bandwidth capacity and up to 440 Gigabits per second (Gbps) of per-slot bandwidth. In a system configured for
VSS, this translates to a system capacity of up to 22.8 Tbps. With the Supervisor Engine 6T and latest generation of line
cards, the 6807-XL chassis supports a maximum of 160 Gigabits per second (Gbps) of per slot bandwidth. The Cisco
Catalyst 6807-XL Modular Switch is optimized for high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet and capable of supporting 40 Gigabit
Ethernet.

The Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL chassis provides superior investment protection by supporting the Supervisor Engine 6T,
Supervisor Engine 2T and associated line cards and service modules. Refer to Table 2 for the complete list of modules
supported.

The Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL chassis offers integrated resiliency by providing 1+1 supervisor engine redundancy, redundant
fans, and N+1 power supply redundancy, thereby limiting network downtime and making sure of workforce productivity,
customer satisfaction, and profitability.

Features and Benefits

The Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL Modular Switch is ideally suited for enterprise core and aggregation environments and offers
industry-leading Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The platform is also ready to support 40 Gigabit Ethernet.

The Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL Modular Switch is built on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Cisco DNA and runs the same Cisco IOS®
Software operating system as the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches. At FCS the switch will support all the features
supported on the Cisco Catalyst 6500-E Series Switch.
At 10 rack unit, the Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL chassis is smaller than the Cisco Catalyst 6506-E chassis while providing an
extra slot. This coupled with support for the Supervisor Engine 6T, Supervisor Engine 2T and its family of line cards means
upgrading the campus backbone can be done with simplicity, speed, and full investment protection.
Table 1 lists the Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL chassis features and benefits.

Table 1. Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL Chassis Features and Benefits

Feature Benefit

Scalability

Capable of delivering up to 11.4 Scales the system capacity for future needs.
terabits per second of system
bandwidth capacity and 440 Gbps of
per-slot bandwidth for all slots.
A system configured for VSS is capable
of delivering 22.8 terabits per second of
system bandwidth.

High interface capacity Scales to high-density Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Capable of supporting 40 Gigabit
Ethernet.

Increased resiliency

Standby fabric hot sync Decreases the supervisor engine switchover time of Supervisor Engine 2T based systems to
between 50 and 200 ms, depending on the modules being used.

Redundant control channel Increases resiliency to protect against backplane control channel failures.

Redundant supervisor engine option Increases availability by supporting a redundant supervisor engine.

Redundant power supply option Provides N+1 power supply redundancy for increased availability.

Fan tray Supports hot-swappable fan tray.

The variable speed fans in the fan tray can handle individual fan failures (N+1 redundancy) and
still provide sufficient cooling to the chassis.

Environmental

Side-to-side airflow Consistent with existing Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series chassis to allow easy upgrades.

AC power supply Supports up to 4 AC power supplies, which can be added incrementally as the system
requirements grow.
Power supplies support both 110 volt and 220 volt inputs.
