Cisco Catalyst 6800 - switch - 8 ports - plug-in module

The Cisco Catalyst 6800 family switches offer an 8-port 40-Gigabit Ethernet module to serve a variety of high-bandwidth needs for the enterprise. They can serve different needs on campus deployments. The modules support hardware-based multicast replication, Quality of Service (QoS), Access Control Lists (ACLs), jumbo frames and low latency to enable secure and predictable performance for bandwidth-intensive applications. They share a common ASIC architecture and support the set of features in hardware. The eight-port 40-Gigabit Ethernet modules can also operate in performance mode. They combine hardware features, such as Virtual Switching System (VSS), Location ID Separation Protocol (LISP), Security Group Tagging (SGT) and Access Control (SGACL), MACsec (802.1ae), traffic shaping and Hierarchical Quality of Service (HQoS), Software-Defined Access (SDA) among others. The modules are designed to meet the increasing demand for aggregation of 40-Gigabit Ethernet streams in campus deployments, as well as for 40-Gigabit Ethernet transport in the core.
