FAQs

Q: Does this supervisor support Virtual Switching System (VSS)?
A: Yes, it is designed for VSS when paired with a matching VS-S720 supervisor.

Q: What 10G optics are supported on the uplinks?
A: X2 form-factor 10G optics such as 10GBASE-SR, -LR, -ER, and CX4 are supported.

Q: What is the difference between 3C and 3CXL?
A: 3CXL provides larger FIB/ACL scaling for large routing tables and policy sets.

Q: Can I mix this with non-XL supervisors in the same chassis?
A: It will operate, but VSS pairs and feature parity are best when both supervisors are the same model and scale (3CXL with 3CXL).
