Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine IV - Integrated Resiliency for Advanced Control of Converged Networks Data Sheet

The Cisco^® Catalyst^® 4500 Series integrates resiliency for advanced control of converged networks (Figure 1).

Overview

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine IV integrates nonblocking Layers 2–4 switching with integrated resiliency, further enhancing control of converged networks. Converged data, voice, and video networks with high availability enable business resiliency for enterprise and Metro Ethernet customers deploying Internet-based business applications. Network control extends from the backbone to the edge with intelligent services such as granular quality of service (QoS), Internet security, and network management. Scalability of these intelligent network services is made possible with dedicated specialized resources known as ternary content addressable memory (TCAM). Ample TCAM resources (192,000 entries) enable “high feature capacity,” which provides wire-speed routing and switching performance with concurrent provisioning of services such as QoS and security, helping ensure scalability for today’s network requirements with ample room for future growth.

The modular architecture, media flexibility, and expandability of the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series help enable an extended window of deployment in converged networks, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) by minimizing recurring operational expenses, in turn improving return on investment (ROI).

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine IV delivers next-generation switching technology with proven Cisco IOS^® Software to power scalable, intelligent multilayer switching solutions for converged data, voice, and video networks. Optimized for the enterprise wiring closet, branch office, or Layer 3 distribution points, the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine IV provides the performance and scalability to handle the network applications of today and the future.

Chassis and Line-Card Support

You can deploy the supervisor engine IV in single-chassis nonredundant mode in the Cisco Catalyst 4503, 4503-E, 4506, and 4506-E chassis. You can also deploy it in single-chassis redundant mode as an option in the Cisco Catalyst 4507R chassis (slots 1 and 2 only) and Cisco Catalyst 4507R-E/4507R+E chassis (slots 3 and 4).

The supervisor engine IV is compatible with the classic Cisco Catalyst 4500 and the E-series Cisco Catalyst 4500 Line Cards. Table 1 gives performance information for the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine IV.

Supervisor Engine IV Redundancy for Business Resiliency

The Cisco Catalyst 4507R chassis using the supervisor engine IV has been designed with an optional 1+1 redundant supervisor capability for integrated resiliency. One supervisor engine IV is designated as the primary (active) supervisor and is responsible for normal system operation; the other (secondary) can serve as a standby, monitoring the operation of the primary supervisor.

Nonstop Forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO) offers continuous packet forwarding during supervisor engine switchover. Information is fully synchronized between supervisors to allow the standby supervisor to immediately take over in subsecond time if the primary fails. In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) allows you to upgrade or downgrade complete Cisco IOS Software images with minimal to no disruption to the network when using a redundant Cisco Catalyst 4500 system with dual supervisors. It allows for a rapid, nondisruptive software upgrade for new line cards, new power supplies, new features, or bug fixes. ISSU offers continuous packet forwarding during the supervisor engine switchover running different Cisco IOS Software versions.

NSF/SSO and ISSU dramatically improve the network reliability and availability in a Layer 2 or Layer 3 environment. NSF/SSO and ISSU are essential for business-critical applications such as voice over IP (VoIP). With these features, VoIP calls are not dropped.

The supervisor engine IV redundancy scheme is similar to that of the supervisor engine V and V-10GE models. Alerts are generated to the network monitoring software if either supervisor fails, and hot-swapping of supervisors is supported without disrupting system operation. Either the software or you can force switchover of supervisor engines with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The resiliency features of the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series help prevent network outages that could result in lost business and revenue. Table 3 gives high-availability and uplink options for the supervisor engines.

Integrated Cisco IOS Software Switching Solution

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine IV supports Cisco IOS Software, providing operational ease of use by allowing you to deploy a single network operating system across your routed and switched infrastructures. Industry-leading Cisco IOS Software integrates features for scalability, bandwidth management, security services, network resiliency, and manageability into the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series. Cisco IOS Software provides investment protection and tight coupling of Layers 2–4 services into a single, unified configuration file and system image. The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine IV defaults to Layer 2 switching upon startup and can be configured to perform Layer 3 and 4 switching and routing services as desired.

IPv6 Support

PPIPv6 is important for the future of IP networking and is critical for the expansion of IP address space in the future. IPv6 capability is required by many companies and is being mandated by governments worldwide. IPv6 has been supported on the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Supervisor Engine V since Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(20)EW with software-based forwarding. Please refer to the section “Features at a Glance” for a complete listing of supported features.

Intelligent Network Services with QoS and Sophisticated Traffic Management

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine IV offers superior per-port QoS features to help ensure that network traffic is classified, prioritized, and scheduled optimally to efficiently handle bandwidth-hungry multimedia, time-sensitive (voice), and mission-critical applications. Supervisor engine IV can classify, police, and mark incoming packets, allowing you to differentiate between traffic flows and enforce policies based on granular QoS fields. Sharing, shaping, and strict priority configurations determine scheduling of egress traffic beginning in Cisco IOS Software Release 12. 1(13)EW. The supervisor engine IV supports Dynamic Buffer Limiting (DBL), a congestion-avoidance feature.

For details about the QoS features (including DBL), refer to “QoS on Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Cisco IOS Software-Based Supervisor Engines” at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps4324/prod_white_papers_list.html.

Advanced Security

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series offers a rich set of industry-leading, integrated security features to proactively lock down your critical network infrastructure. It reduces network security risks with a rich set of NAC capabilities and 802.1x-based user authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). The security policy enforcement is uncompromised with the wire-rate, dedicated access control lists (ACLs) to fend off ever-increasing virus and security attacks. The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series offers powerful, easy-to-use tools to effectively prevent untraceable man-in-the-middle attacks, control plane resource exhaustion, IP spoofing, and flooding attacks, without any change to the end-user or host configurations. Secure remote access, file transfers, and network management are accomplished with the Secure Shell (SSH Version 1 and Version 2) Protocol, Secure Copy Protocol (SCP), and SNMPv3, respectively.

Cisco NAC is a foundational component of the Cisco Self-Defending Network strategy, improving the ability of the network to automatically identify, prevent, and respond to security threats. NAC helps enable the Cisco Catalyst switches to collaborate with third-party solutions for security-policy compliance and enforcement before a host is permitted to access the network.

Cisco NAC performs posture validation at the Layer 2 network edge for hosts with or without 802.1x enabled. You can isolate vulnerable and noncompliant hosts, give them reduced network access, or direct them to remediation servers based on organizational policy. By helping ensure that every host complies with security policy, you can significantly reduce the damage caused by infected hosts. NAC is available through standard software upgrades or Cisco SMARTnet^® contracts on Cisco Catalyst switches.Table 6 gives security features of the supervisor engines.

Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Netflow Services Card for Supervisor Engine IV

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series NetFlow Services Card (Figure 2) is an optional daughter card for the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine IV or V, providing Layer 3 statistics and enhanced VLAN statistics without affecting the forwarding performance rates on the supervisor engine.

NetFlow Services Card Product Description

NetFlow is a versatile feature that allows you to monitor traffic flows for the purpose of billing, network planning, or security purposes. The NetFlow services card supports per-packet statistics capture in hardware for flow- and VLAN-based statistics monitoring. NetFlow services capture and cache detailed information about each data flow (a stream of packets traveling in one direction from one endpoint to another across the network). Data in the NetFlow cache includes information about specific flows, including details such as IP addresses, packet and byte counts, time stamps, and application ports. You can export, collect, and analyze this data for numerous purposes such as virus and denial-of-service (DoS) mitigation. More information about NetFlow technology is available at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6601/products_ios_protocol_group_home.html.

NetFlow Services Card Applications

NetFlow technology efficiently provides the metering base for critical applications, including network traffic accounting, usage-based network billing, network planning, network monitoring, and data-mining capabilities for both service provider and enterprise customers.

An enterprise customer might use NetFlow information for departmental charge-backs, cost allocation, network budget justification, network monitoring and planning, application monitoring and planning, use monitoring and planning, enterprise accounting, usage-based billing, data warehousing, or management reports.

A service provider customer can use NetFlow information to charge customers according to bandwidth, application usage, QoS, or distance, rather than at a flat rate.

A more detailed list of general NetFlow applications is available at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6601/products_ios_protocol_group_home.html.

BGP is now included in the Enterprise Services image. Unless otherwise specified, all currently shipping Cisco Catalyst 4500 software features based on Cisco IOS Software are supported in the Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(25)SG, IP Base image with a few points to note:

●   The IP Base image does not support the following routing-related features: BGP, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, IPX, Apple Talk, VRF-lite, and PBR.

●   The IP Base image supports EIGRP Stub for Layer 3 routing on all Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engines. For more information about EIGRP Stub functions, visit: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/technologies/tk648/tk365/technologies_white_paper0900aecd8023df6f.shtml.

●   The Enterprise Services image supports all Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series software features based on Cisco IOS Software, including enhanced routing. Customers planning to enable BGP on supervisor engine IV, V, or V-10GE models no longer need to purchase a separate BGP license (FR-IRC4); BGP capability is included in the Enterprises Services package.
