Information About WS-X6K-S2-PFC2
The Cisco WS‑X6K‑S2‑PFC2 is a Supervisor Engine 2 module for Catalyst 6500 series switches, featuring the PFC2 (Policy Feature Card) forwarding engine. It provides high-performance Layer‑2 switching capabilities in a compact form factor.
Key Features:
-
Module Type: Supervisor Engine 2 (PFC2 only; no routing/MSFC)
-
Forwarding Engine: PFC2 hardware for efficient packet processing
-
Uplink Ports: 2 × 1000BASE‑X requiring GBIC/SFP transceivers
-
Layer Support: Layer‑2 switching under Catalyst OS; no Layer‑3 IOS support
-
Memory: 128 MB DRAM (users can upgrade to 512 MB); 32 MB flash; 512 KB NVRAM
-
Buffers: 512 KB total (80 KB Rx / 432 KB Tx)
-
Form Factor: Single-slot module (~1.6″ × 15.3″ × 16.3″)
-
Backplane Compatibility: Shared 32 Gbps bus (256 Gbps with Switch Fabric Module)
-
Power Consumption: ~2.66 A @ 42 V DC (~112 W)
-
Cooling Needs: Operates with standard low-speed fan trays (no high-speed fans required)
-
Operating Range: Designed for 0–55 °C; 10–90% non-condensing humidity; 0–6500 ft altitude
The WS‑X6K‑S2‑PFC2 delivers efficient, hardware-based Layer‑2 switching via Catalyst OS without routing capabilities. It fits within the Catalyst 6500 chassis and supports legacy redundancy configurations. Now discontinued, it remains relevant in legacy environments and compatible with high-throughput switch fabric modules.
