Module Overview and Specifications
This chapter provides an overview of the features of the Catalyst 4500 series supervisor engines and switching modules. The information is presented in the following major sections:
•
Catalyst 4000 Series Switches

Catalyst 4000 Series Switches
The Catalyst 4000 series switches consist of the Catalyst 4003 switch and the Catalyst 4006 switch. The switches are designed for high-performance, high-density wiring closet applications. A detailed overview of these switches is in the Catalyst 4000 Series Installation Guide. These switches are no longer sold or supported by Cisco, but most switching modules originally created for the Catalyst 4000 function in a Catalyst 4500 or Catalyst 4500 E-Series switch. Catalyst OS and the supervisor engines using it are likewise End of Life (EoL) products.
Catalyst 4500 Series Switches
The Catalyst 4500 series switches consist of the Catalyst 4503 switch, the Catalyst 4506 switch, the Catalyst 4507R switch, and the Catalyst 4510R switch. The switches are designed for high-performance, high-density wiring closet applications. A detailed overview of these switches is in the Catalyst 4500 Series Installation Guide.
Switching modules created for these switches can also be used with a Catalyst 4500 E-series switch chassis or supervisor engine.
Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches
The Catalyst 4500 E-series switches consist of the Catalyst 4503-E switch, the Catalyst 4506-E switch, the Catalyst 4507R-E switch, and the Catalyst 4510R-E switch. The switches are designed for high-performance, high-density wiring closet applications. A detailed overview of these switches is in the Catalyst 4500 E- Series Installation Guide.
Switching modules created for these switches are not compatible with a Catalyst 4500 Classic chassis or supervisor engine. They require a larger capacity connection to the chassis backplane than is available with Catalyst 4500 Classic hardware.
Supervisor Engines
These sections describe the supervisor engines available for the Catalyst 4500 and Catalyst 4500 E-series switches:

On the three and six-slot switches, you can install the Supervisor Engine in slot 1 only. On the Catalyst 4507R or 4510R switch, you install the primary supervisor engine in slot 1, and you can install an optional redundant supervisor engine in slot 2. On the Catalyst 4507R-E switch, you install the primary supervisor engine in slot 3, and you can install an optional redundant supervisor engine in slot 4. On the 4510R-E switch, you install the primary supervisor engine in slot 5, and you can install an optional redundant supervisor engine in slot 6.
The supervisor engines have the following features:

Ethernet Management Port
The WS-X4012 supervisor engine has a 10BASE-T Ethernet management port. The WS-X4516-10GE and WS-X4013+10GE supervisor engine modules have a 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet management port.The other supervisor engine modules have a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet management port. Supervisor engines use an RJ-45 connector on the front panel with a link status LED. For the location of the port, see Figure 1-1 (WS-X4012), Figure 1-2 (WS-X4013), Figure 1-3 (WS-X4013+), Figure 1-4 (WS-X4013+TS), Figure 1-5 (WS-X4013+10GE), Figure 1-6 (WS-X4014), Figure 1-7 (WS-X4515), Figure 1-8 (WS-X4516), or Figure 1-9 (WS-X4516-10GE).
TCP/IP-based management services available through inband access also are provided through this port (Telnet and SNMP). This management port also supports image download.
Note
Console Port
The console port allows you to perform the following functions:
•
•
•
•
The Catalyst 4003 console port is a DCE DB-25 receptacle, which supports a DCE EIA/TIA-232 interface. The console port is an RJ-45 receptacle on the Catalyst 4006, 4503, 4506, and 4507.

To provide PoE with the 48-port PoE 10/100BASE-TX switching module in a Catalyst 4006 switch, you must have a power entry module (PEM) and a power shelf installed. The Catalyst 4006 switch can provide 312 W per PoE module to powered devices. If the powered devices are using the maximum 15.4 W per port, there is only enough power for 18 powered devices. If the powered devices are using less than 15.4 W per port, more powered devices can be powered, up to the 312 W maximum. For more information about installing the PEM or the external power shelf, refer to the Catalyst 4000 Series Installation Guide, Catalyst 4500 Series Installation Guide, Installation and Configuration Note for the Catalyst 4500 Series AC Power Shelf, or the Catalyst 4500 Series Power Entry Module and External Power Shelf Installation Note.
To provide PoE with the 48-port PoE 10/100/1000BASE-T switching module in a Catalyst 4500 series switch, you must have an PoE-enabled power supply. All power supplies support PoE except the 1000 W and 1400 W AC power supplies.

Ports on this switching module may be oversubscribed, depending on utilization. For further information on these ports, see the "Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Ports" section on page 3-11.
This module is not supported on Catalyst 4000 Series Switches or the Supervisor Engine I, II or III. It is compatible with all Supervisor Engines that use Cisco IOS software. Refer to the release notes for supported Cisco IOS releases.
To provide PoE with the 48-port PoE 10/100/1000BASE-T switching module in a Catalyst 4500 series switch, you must have an PoE-enabled power supply. All power supplies support PoE except the 1000 W and 1400 W AC power supplies. Choose a power supply with adequate capacity for your PoE requirements. If you have several of these PoE modules in a switch, all available PoE in the smaller power supplies will be quickly utilized.

Switching Module LEDs
Each switching module has one LED labeled STATUS that provides information about the module and one numbered LED labeled LINK for each port on the module. Figure 1-47 shows the Gigabit Ethernet port and status LEDs. Figure 1-48 shows the 10/100BASE-T port LEDs. Table 1-3 describes the switching module LEDs.
Figure 1-47 Gigabit Ethernet Port and Status LEDs
Figure 1-48 10/100BASE-T Port LEDs
Table 1-3 Switching Module LEDs
STATUS
Indicates the results of a series of self-tests and diagnostic tests performed by the switch.
Green
All the tests pass.
Red
A test other than an individual port test failed.
Orange
System boot, self-test diagnostics running, or the module is disabled.
LINK1
Indicates the status of the 10BASE-T port.
Green
The port is operational (a signal is detected).
Orange
The link has been disabled by software.
Flashing orange
The link has been disabled due to a hardware failure.
Off
No signal is detected.
Port Status2
Indicates individual port status.
Green
The port is operational (a signal is detected).
Orange
The link has been disabled by software.
Flashing orange
The link has been disabled due to a hardware failure.
Off
No signal is detected.

2 LEDs labeled 1 through the number of ports on the switching module are the individual port link LEDs.
Hot-Swapping Feature
Catalyst 4500 series switches allow you to remove and replace switching modules without powering down the switch. This feature is known as hot swapping.
When you remove or insert a switching module while the switch is operating, the system does the following:
1.
2.
3.
The system runs diagnostic tests on any new interfaces. If the test passes, the system is operating normally. If the new switching module is faulty, the system resumes normal operation but places the new module in the "faulty" state.
If the diagnostic test fails, the system crashes, which usually indicates that the new switching module has a problem and should be removed.
Caution
When you hot swap switching modules, the system displays status messages on the console screen. The following sample display shows the messages logged by the system when a switching module is removed from slot 2:
Console> (enable)2001 Sep 09 12:23:26 %SYS-5-MOD_REMOVE:Module 3 has been removedConsole> (enable)2001 Sep 09 12:23:44 %SYS-5-MOD_INSERT:Module 3 has been insertedConsole> (enable)2001 Sep 09 12:23:47 %SYS-5-MOD_OK:Module 3 is onlineConsole> (enable)If you use the show port command to query the module before reinstalling a module to replace the removed one, the system responds, "Module 3 is not installed." When the module is reinserted, the system recognizes the module as ready again.
