Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series Supervisor Engine 9-E

The Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 9-E (Figure 1) is the next generation of enterprise-class switching engine. The Cisco Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) powers fabric-enabled wireless and helps enable uniform wired and wireless policy enforcement, application visibility, flexibility, and application optimization.

The Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 9-E is an enterprise-class access and aggregation supervisor engine designed to provide up to 928 Gbps of wired access per system with an E-Series chassis. It also supports up to 20 Gbps of wireless termination. The Supervisor Engine 9-E provides 48 Gbps per slot with Flexible NetFlow (FNF), integrated Wireshark, and advanced security, combined with reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and excellent investment protection. These capabilities, along with four 10 Gigabit Ethernet and two 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports and 384 10/100/1000 access ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE), PoE Plus (PoE+), and Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPOE), make this supervisor engine the leading Cisco access supervisor engine in the Cisco Catalyst Family. Supervisor Engine 9-E facilitates user experiences for enterprise, public sector, midmarket, and commercial customer business-critical applications.
