Description

The Catalyst 6880-X is an extensible fixed-aggregation switch chassis for small and midsize campus backbones, aggregation layers and core deployments that need premium 10G services, MPLS/VPLS and large routing tables. It brings the Catalyst 6500 feature set and Supervisor Engine 2T architecture into a compact 4.85 RU form factor.

This is the XL Tables version, as opposed to the standard-table C6880-X-LE. It supports 2048K IPv4 and 1024K IPv6 routes, 256K shared ACL entries, 1024K NetFlow entries per module slot (up to 5M per system) and 4 GB of onboard memory. The base chassis provides 16 fixed 10GbE SFP+ / 1GbE SFP ports, with four slots for optional 16-port cards, scaling to 80 ports per chassis and up to 2 Tbps of switching capacity. Two power supply slots provide 1+1 redundancy, and the chassis does not provide PoE.

It works with C6880-X-16P10G port cards (XL tables), 3000W AC or DC power supplies, and a wide range of 10G SFP+ and 1G SFP optics and twinax cables. Virtual Switching System (VSS) support allows two chassis to be combined for up to 4 Tbps of switching capacity.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between the C6880-X and the C6880-X-LE?
A: The C6880-X has XL tables, with 2048K IPv4 routes, 256K ACL entries and 4 GB of memory. The C6880-X-LE has standard-size tables. Cisco recommends similar memory capacity across chassis for optimal performance.

Q: Which power supplies does the C6880-X use?
A: It has two power supply slots with 1+1 redundancy. Supported power supplies are the C6880-X-3KW-AC (3000W AC, 100 to 240 VAC) and the C6880-X-3KW-DC (3000W DC, -48 to -60 VDC). The chassis does not provide PoE.

Q: Which port cards work with this chassis?
A: The chassis accepts the C6880-X-16P10G (XL tables) and the C6880-X-LE-16P10G (standard tables) 16-port cards in its four slots, for up to 80 ports per chassis.

Q: Which optics does it support?
A: For 10G SFP+, supported options include SFP-10G-SR, -LRM, -LR, -ER, -ZR and DWDM-SFP10G, plus SFP-H10GB-CU and ACU twinax cables. For 1G SFP, supported options include GLC-SX-MM(D), GLC-LH-SM(D), GLC-EX-SMD, GLC-ZX-SM(D), GLC-BX-D/U, GLC-T and GLC-GE-100FX.

Q: Which software feature sets are available?
A: The IP Services and Advanced Enterprise Services feature sets are available, with software support from 15.1(2)SY1 and later. Port card support starts from 15.1(2)SY2.
