1 Question Will the H QOS be available on the 6908 as well? Answer no, at this point only WS X6904 has the capability to support the 2 level shaping. Not WS X6908 Sounds like a lot of new capabilities are coming up, but what is the projected lifespan of the 6500E chassis? No EOL in the near future? No Eol planned, we want to take the E chassis to Will the 6908 also be able to handle the 40G optics no the 6908 is only capable of 8 ports of 1:1 10 gig Will the 6908 also be able to handle the 40G optics /ps708/data_sheet_c html Will there be a 48port 10/100/1000 line card that supports H QOS? This has been a shortfall of the 6500 for a long time can u police in any of the PQ? can u police in any of the PQ? does the WS C6504 E also fall under this as well as far as being able to support these features? What is the estimated end of life date for the 6509e chassis? Will an estimated end of life date be announced for the new SUP 2T? I have several resellers telling me not by the 6500 chassis because it is dead and nothing further will be done. This presentation directly contradicts that. Is it safe to assume that the 6500 family will be around for quite a while? Is it true that the WS X GE is incompatiable with the 2T? what is the price different between WS X 6908 and 6904 We are debating on replacing our 6509 with SUP720 3B with an ASR9006 or SUP2T. We run heavy Video traffic in labs that is linear currently. We use IXIA boxes also for traffic generation, but we have local video headends onsite and plan on heavy traffic. At this point we are not looking at one with 48 ports. We are looking at seeing what is possible with more density WAN type interfaces, but this is someting under investigation only I believe this is on the interface or port channel. /ps708/white_paper_c html#wp Yes, the 6504 E chassis will support all these things Amit is describing with Sup2T Each supervisor we have shipped has a lifespan of 12+ years. There is no Sup2T EoL planned. We just shipped Sup2T in We did send a End of Sale for the older Sup720 3B for Jan With TAC support to Remember Sup720 3B shipped June 2004 Ronald, yes Cat6500 is a strategic platfom and Cisco continues to invest in it for ne3xt decade, There are number of hardware and software feature enhancements which will continue to be delivered Yes, that is correct. There is a generous trade in % for WS X6708 which can be taken advantage of via the Cisco technology migration program (CTMP). You can check with your sales person This is a question that requires a longer discussion. However, the 6500 Sup2T has many video related features. Multicast Service Reflection, Medianet (performance monitoring, metadata, mediatrace)

2 At what point should the ASR 9000 be consitered over the SUP2T. Will OTV be offered via the 2T? Will OTV be offered via the 2T? Ryan, Cat6500 Sup2T is recommended as lead platform for Campus network, and ASR is lead platform for WAN edge and that is how you will see cisco will invest to deliver features and functionality no plan for OTV at this point 6500 is investing in Advanced VPLS which is standards based and the issues brought up with VPLS like ease of use and flooding are being addressed. We have VPLS IGMP / PIM Snooping, VPLS over GRE, Advanced VPLS for easier configuration with VSS, etc. When will the A VPLS be supported with VSS? yes Robert, A VPLS is supported w/ VSS and Amit is going to talk When will the A VPLS be supported with VSS? about it in few mts Yes, AVPLS will be supported with VSS in the software release When will the A VPLS be supported with VSS? which comes out in November 6500E is the extended life platform. True? yes I'm assuming that example on the slide pertains this is a new enhancement to support 2 priority queues for to MQC can u plz quickly clarity why the customer flexbility. Other products have this support too command "priority level1" and "priority level2" including are we talking about 2 PQ being implemented? If yes, how come as this bend the philosophy /ps6970/ps1838/prod_bulletin0900aecd805ddce3.html#wp900 behind the PQ? 3157 We had been told that the ws x ge line Yes, correct, there is a generous credit via the CTMP migration card was not supported with the 2t program. Talk to your sales contact No, WHEN will it be supported with VSS. It wasn't yet supported three months ago when we tried to implement it A VPLS will be supported in next release No, WHEN will it be supported with VSS. It wasn't yet supported three months ago when we tried to implement it 15.1(1)SY which has a target FCS of Nov 2012 No, WHEN will it be supported with VSS. It wasn't yet supported three months ago when we tried to implement it Sup720 supports VSS and A VPLS with 12.2(33)SXI4. True, Sup2T will support A VPLS very soon as Moiz mentioned If 40Gb per slot is the limit for the SUP2T then that will probably force us to a ASR If 40Gb per slot is the limit for the SUP2T then that will probably force us to a ASR If 40Gb per slot is the limit for the SUP2T then that will probably force us to a ASR sup2t support 80G/slot We have announced publicly we will support 180+ gig per slot releasecontent?type=webcontent&articleid=657081

3 Can I reuse a WS X GE line card when upgrading to the sup 2t? On Cisco's site it states that we can upgrade a Cisco 6700 Series line card with CFC to DFC4 but when it lists the various models in that series I do not see this one. 67xx linecards with CFC are supported natively with Sup2T. If you have DFC3 with 67xx card, that can be replaced with DFC4 card. 10G Non Blocking lincard on Sup2T is 6908 with 8x10G ports What is the highest density 10GIG NON blocking linerate, in addition to that G linecard can also work in line card that will be available with the 2T? 16x10G (oversubscriiption) or 8x10G (linerate ). Will you gona talk about 100G Ethernet? no Will you gona talk about 100G Ethernet? Not on topic today, but we in planning Sup720 3B has HW support until 2017, but SW/Bug Fixes support ends in 2014 bug fixes to Jan 2016 Sup720 3B has HW support until 2017, but SW/Bug Fixes support ends in 2014 /ps708/eol_c html does the WS C6504 E also fall under this as well as far as being able to support these features? I have heard that the 8 port 10gig card is not supported. omly the 6704 & Can that be confirmed? yes 6708 is not supported I have heard that the 8 port 10gig card is not supported. omly the 6704 & Can that be confirmed? Yes, the 6504 E chassis supports these features as long as there is a Sup2T in the chassis All other WS X67xx linecards work wiht Sup2T except for that one exception due to hardware limitations Does WS 6816 only have 40G per slot? That's correct 68xx slot only support 40G to the backplane, however they get all the features supported by DFC4/PFC4 Earlier I asked if 6708 card was supported with 2T, and the answer was yes with DFC change. I see someone else asked same question and it was no it is not supported. Whiich is it? yes i did not read question was on 6708 What about the 6909? tim, which linecard are you referring to when you say 6909? What about the 6909? you mean 6908 or both supports 80g/slot Is BFD supported on the SUP2T and for which linecards? yes BFD is supported on sup2t with all line cards. Does A VPLS offer any clear advantages over OTV? Does A VPLS offer any clear advantages over OTV? VPLS are 2 different solution for Interconnecting at l2 layer, the main advantages of VPLS/A VPLS over OTV is you can transport higher number of VLAN's compare to OTV, in addition to that with A VPLS the resliency is much higher. For Campus we support multiple VPLS sites e.g and we support hierarchical VPLS.

4 What impact will the support for Quad SUP VSS have on slot to backplane speeds? If there is any impact will new line cards be required to support the higher speed? is Nbar2 supported on 2T is Nbar2 supported on 2T Is BFD supported on SUP720 10GE? Is BFD supported on SUP720 10GE? Is BFD supported on SUP720 10GE? are all SUP 720 EoL? are all SUP 720 EoL? Does the Sup2T support 6748/6724 line cards? Is quad sup supported today? Is quad sup supported today? Are the GE line cards supported in the sup 2T? Are the GE line cards supported in the sup 2T? there is no impact. quadsup will have 2 sups in each chassis Nbar2 is not natively supported on Sup2T today, however we are getting support of NBAR2 with NAM 3 service module at the end of this year Also WISM2 and ASA SM. So we have 3 service modules that support NBAR2 Only Sup720 3A/3B will be going end of sale. Sup720 3C will continue to live ( no end of sale plan for Sup720 3C) /ps6970/ps6017/ps9673/product_bulletin_c _ps708_Products_Bulletin.html yes it is supported No, we are moving forward with VS Sup G (this is 3C) to Only Sup720 3A is end of sale, and Sup720 3B was just announced End of sale Jan 2013 Yes! no it will be available in Mar May 2013 time frame And VPLS and A VPLS will be supported with Quad Sup NSF/SSO 67XX linecard except 6708 linecard are supported with Sup2T with CFC card natively. If you have DFC on 67xx card they need to be replaced with DFC4. The only exception is 6708 is not supported with Sup2T yes with DFC4 Please confirm my understanding. 2T will support: All 6900 cards All 6800 cards All 6700 cards with CFC or DFC4 ( G will not be supported even if used with CFC or DFC4) Select 6100 cards No 6500 or lower cards. Correct? Osbert that is correct!

5 Please confirm my understanding. 2T will support: All 6900 cards All 6800 cards All 6700 cards with CFC or DFC4 ( G will not be supported even if used with CFC or DFC4) Select 6100 cards No 6500 or lower cards. Correct? No new fan tray is required? We can reuse the WS C6509 E FAN? Is this replacement procedure using a newer secure/authenticated CDP? For the new switch install, is this only supported on the 3750 switches? For the new switch install, is this only supported on the 3750 switches? All Legacy Service Modules are supported SIP/ES+ cards not supported as advanced MPLS are native now same fan tray. We designed this to be an easy upgrade to double per slot throughput and signficantly improve performance with new features currently Smart Install is not using sftp, that is roadmap. Some customers will do this in a staging area where this is not a concern No cat2k, cat3k are all included can you use smart install on 6500 E to 6509 E's Doesn't prme LMS have similar features to do zero touch upgrades? does this supervisor card have the nexus OS on it? Are there plans for the 4K to be a smart capable client switch? 6500 is only a smart install director, not a client Prime supports Smart Install. no it runs with IOS We currently have a 6509 with a pair of WS X6K SUP2 2GE which are EoL. We also have one WS X6516A GBIC, one WS X6548 GE TX, two WS X6148 RJ 45 and one 1x WS X6148 GE 45AF. If we replaced our Sup2 with the Sup2T what linecards would we need to replace? Are the SUP card and the line cards you've talked about applied to 7600 chassis? Is the 2T suitable for the 6513? or only 65xx E series? There will be any newer feature for VSS with SUP2T how about Nexus 5548, 6509 support smart install on it / any issues with the 6748's Does the Sup 2T support the ACE30 line cards? The WS X61xx work with Sup2T. However the ws x65xx will need to be upgraded Sup2T is supported in 7609 today with 6500 IOS 15.0SY and others will come by Nov 2012 E chassis only Yes, absolutely VSS is on its 3rd generation. Improvement is always in the works 65xx only supports smart install with Catalyst 2K/3K platforms what kind of issues you refering too. No issues are seen with 6748 Enid, You mean ACE30 service module, Yes it is supported with Sup2T!

6 Does the 6503 E accept the 2T? All E series chassis take Sup2T We also have a switch fabric module (WS C6500 SFM) in slot 5 and I've been told we would no longer need the SFM as the 2T should/would go in slot 4 and 5. Is this correct? Do we have a support for ES+ card? Are there degarded performance issues to consider keeping those cards? Would you recommend replacement linecards that match the functionality but are a better match for the 2T? What about MDT SAFI? What service modules work with the Sup2T? witches/ps5718/ps708/eol_c html This differs from the original EoL announcement which said End of SW Maintenance was January 30, 2014 you mentioned on another post the 6548 would not be supported, just wondering about the 6748's you mentioned on another post the 6548 would not be supported, just wondering about the 6748's Not this presentation. The 6500 Futures Road Map When will the new chasis be available with the 440G/ per slot we are in planning We would still install two Sup2T right? So slots 4 and 5? one or two thank you very much for the presentation tks Is Smart install processor intensive? We have a pair of 2500W power supplies in our 6509E, I understand those would need to be replaced as well, what would be the recommended size? 3000W, 4000W, 6000W? correct SFM was for old Sup2. This is the slot on a 6509 that sup2t will go to along with sup720s ES+ cards are not supported on Sup2T, they are only supported on Sup720 performance on the newest cards of course are better with newer functionality Layer 3 VPNs (L3VPN)Multicast VPN: Multicast Distribution Trees Subaddress Family Identifer.? ASA, FWSM, NAM, ACE (new and legacy) also WISM (new and legacy) Yes, we listened to customers and adjusted 6748 is supported w CFC, if DFC3 is there you need to replace it with DFc4 It is supported, CFC is native as is and if you have DFC upgrade to DFC4
