Core / Backbone Catalyst Switches

 
Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series  
Multiservice Switch Router
 

The Catalyst 8500 series Multiservice Switch Routers integrate multiservice ATM switching with wire-speed multiprotocol
routing and Layer 2 switching for Gigabit Ethernet into a single platform that also supports advanced Cisco IOS services for QoSand security. The Catalyst 8500 family delivers campus and metropolitan network solutions with scalable performance, lower cost of ownership and the features needed by intranet-based applications to deliver increased business productivity.

   

The variety of options for the Cisco 8500 give true deployment flexibility:

Cisco 8510

  • 5-slot Multiservice chassis
  • The Switch Route Processor (SRP), C8510-SRP, equips the Catalyst 8510 as a Layer 3 switch When deployed with the Multiservice Switch Route Processor, C8515-MSRP, the Catalyst 8510 is equipped as a multiservice ATM switch

Cisco 8540

  • 13-slot Multiservice chassis
  • Route Processors (RP) and Switch Processors (SP), C8541-RP and C8542-SP equip the Catalyst 8540 as a Layer 3 switch. When deployed with Multiservice Route Processors (MSP) and Multiservice Switch Processor (MSP), C8545-MRP and C8546-MSP respectively, the Catalyst 8540 can servce as a multiservice ATM switch
  • Software enhancements and the addition of an ATM router module (ARM) allow the deployment of Multiservice ATM and Layer 3 interfaces in a single Catalyst 8500 chassis
