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.

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.

Supervisor Engines

These sections describe the supervisor engines available for the Catalyst 4500 series switches:

Supervisor Engine I (WS-X4012), which is used in the Catalyst 4003 switch (Figure 1-1)

Supervisor Engine II (WS-X4013, which is used in the Catalyst 4006, 4503, and 4506 switches (Figure 1-2)

Supervisor Engine II-Plus (WS-X4013+), which is used in the Catalyst 4006, 4503, 4506, and 4507R switches (Figure 1-3)

Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS (WS-X4013+TS), which is used in Catalyst 4503 switches only (Figure 1-4)

Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GE (WS-X4013+10GE), which is used in Catalyst 4503, 4506, and 4507R switches (Figure 1-5)

Supervisor Engine III (WS-X4014), which is used in the Catalyst 4006, 4503, and 4506 switches (Figure 1-6)

Supervisor Engine IV (WS-X4515), which is used in the Catalyst 4006, 4503, 4506, and 4507R switches (Figure 1-7 )

Supervisor Engine V (WS-X4516), which is used in the Catalyst 4006, 4503, 4506, 4507R, and 4510R switches (Figure 1-8)

Supervisor Engine V-10GE (WS-X4516-10GE), which is used in the Catalyst 4503, 4506, 4507R, and 4510R switches (Figure 1-9)

On the Catalyst 4006, 4503, and 4506 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.

The supervisor engines have the following features:

Data path and control for all network interfaces

Management functions:

Interface monitoring

Environmental status

SNMP and console/Telnet interface

Hot-swapping


Note Packets are not forwarded while the module is removed. A system reboot occurs when a supervisor engine is reinserted.


The Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS provides 12 nonblocking 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ-45) ports and 8 1000BASE-X (SFP) ports.

The Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GE and Supervisor Engine V-10GE provide 2 nonblocking 10GBASE uplink ports.

The Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GE and Supervisor Engine V-10GE provide 4 1000BASE-X (SFP) ports.

The Supervisor Engine IV and V support the Catalyst 4500 series NetFlow Services Card (WS-F4531). NetFlow is integral to the Supervisor Engine V-10 GE.

To install a supervisor engine, follow the procedure in the "Installing the Modules" section.

The supervisor engines used in Catalyst 4000 and Catalyst 4500 switches are shown in Figure 1-1 to Figure 1-8.

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 The 10BASE-T and 10/100BASE-T Ethernet management ports are for network management only. These ports do not support network switching.


Console Port

The console port allows you to perform the following functions:

Configure the switch from the CLI

Monitor network statistics and errors

Configure SNMP agent parameters

Download software updates to the switch or distribute software images residing in Flash memory to attached devices

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.


Note EIA/TIA-232 was known as recommended standard RS-232 before its acceptance as a standard by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).

The 48 ports can be configured with any combination of small, form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules. For a description of SFP modules, see the "Installing SFP Modules" section.

Problem   Insertion of unsupported SFPs (small form-factor pluggable optics) into a WS-X4448-GB-LX module can cause undetected communication failures between the supervisor engine and the corresponding module. Subsequent insertion or removal of SFPs from the module is not recognized by the system. This activity can be observed on a Catalyst 4500 series switch using Release 12.1(12c)EW1 or later releases.

Solution   Reset the module with the hw-module module reset command. (CSCee05078)

Figure 1-35 WS-X4524-GB-RJ45V 24-Port IEEE-Compliant PoE 10/100/1000BASE-T Switching Module

To provide PoE with the 24-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 Watt 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
