Cisco Catalyst 8500 Multiservice Switch Routers

The Catalyst 8500 family multiservice switch routers integrate multiservice ATM switching with wire-speed multiprotocol routing for Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet into a single platform that also supports advanced Cisco IOS services for QoS and security. This family delivers enterprise MAN/WAN and Service Provider multiservice edge solutions with scalable performance, lower cost of ownership, and offer multiple interface options in a modular chassis. The Catalyst 8500 series consists of the modular Catalyst 8510 (10-Gbps, 5-slot) switch and the modular Catalyst 8540 (40-Gbps, 13-slot) switch. Both switches implement Cisco IOS Software to provide a variety of network services including reliability, security, management, and QoS with CiscoAssure policy networking.
