Introduction Series Overview Intelligent Switching for the Integrated Network Modular Switches (continued) Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Cisco Catalyst 4500-E Series modular switches enable a high performance, mobile, and secure user experience. The Catalyst 4500-E Series is Cisco's lead access and collapsed access/aggregation platform for Borderless Networks. Offering up to 848 Gbps in switching capacity and 250 Mpps in throughput, Catalyst 4500 E-series switches are optimized for unified communication with high density POE and POE+, embedded security with Cisco TrustSec and enable maximum uptime for voice, video and critical applications with services like Stateful Switchover, non-stop Forwarding, and In-service software upgrades. Unified Communications: Cisco pre-standard and IEEE 802.3af PoE Support. 20w PoE support for 802.11n access points. Up to 60 watts per port with E-Series line cards. Extensive QoS features with up to 8 user configurable queues per port. Non-stop Communications: Redundant supervisor engines with In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU), non-stop Forwarding/ Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO) offering 50 ms failover; Application visibility with WireShark, Campus virtualization with EVN (Easy Virtual Network); redundant power supplies with power circuit redundancy; hot-swappable fan trays with redundant fans. Simplified Operations: Minimize network operational time with ISSU, EEM, AutoQoS, Smartports RSPAN; TDR, OIR, Flexible NetFlow for application visibility, Cisco Prime, and LMS. Comprehensive Security: Integrated Network Admission Control (NAC) and Comprehensive security with Cisco TrustSec and 802.1x, H/W-based Control Plane Policing (CoPP); integrated man-in-the-middle and DoS attack mitigation; NetFlow; access control lists for IPv4 and IPv6 at wire rate and SSH. Flexible Options: 3,6,7 and 10-slot chassis supporting numerous connectivity configurations with up to 48 Gbps per slot capacity, 10/100, 10/100/1000 (PoE or non-PoE), GE SFP Fiber and 10 GE line cards. Mix and match classic line cards with high performance E-Series line cards for maximum flexibility. High Port Density: Up to 384 Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet Ports (PoE or non PoE) and up to 100 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GBE) ports. Investment Protection: Evolutionary centralized modular Architecture, media flexibility, and scalability of the Catalyst 4500 Series delivers maximum investment protection with backward and forward compatibility across several generations dating back to 1999. 6
