Frequent Ask Questions

• What is the Cisco WS-F6K-DFC4-AXL component used for?

  The Cisco WS-F6K-DFC4-AXL, also known as the Catalyst 6500 Distributed Forwarding Card 4XL (DFC4XL), is designed to enhance the performance and capabilities of the Catalyst 6500 series switches. It is used specifically with modules like WS-X6824-SFP-2T, WS-X6848-SFP-2T, and WS-X6848-TX-2T to provide high-performance forwarding capabilities.

• How does the DFC4XL improve network performance?

  The DFC4XL improves network performance by enabling distributed forwarding. This means that the forwarding decision-making process is offloaded from the central supervisor engine to the line cards, increasing the overall throughput and performance of the switch.

• Is the WS-F6K-DFC4-AXL compatible with all Catalyst 6500 series modules?

  No, the WS-F6K-DFC4-AXL is specifically designed to be compatible with certain modules such as WS-X6824-SFP-2T, WS-X6848-SFP-2T, and WS-X6848-TX-2T. It may not be compatible with other modules in the Catalyst 6500 series.

• How do I install the DFC4XL on my Catalyst 6500 series switch?

  To install the DFC4XL, you need to power down the switch, remove the appropriate module from the chassis, attach the DFC4XL card to the module, and then reinsert the module back into the switch. It is important to follow the detailed instructions provided in the installation guide that accompanies the hardware to avoid any potential issues.

• What benefits do I gain from using the DFC4XL?

  Using the DFC4XL delivers several benefits including enhanced packet forwarding rates, improved scalability, and increased overall switch performance. This makes it a suitable choice for high-demand network environments where performance and efficiency are critical.
