Catalyst 6000 Family Overview Chapter 1 Product Overview Software Features The C65/76M software provides the following features: • Manual predeployment of Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers and subcomponents in the management system before actual installation. The system can automatically detect predeployed objects and begin management when they are installed and configured. • Autodiscovery feature that identifies newly installed Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers and their hardware configuration. • Access to maps that are automatically created by the management system to show the exact representation of Catalyst 6000 family or Cisco 7600 series Internet Router components. • SNMP alarms presented as color-coded icons on network maps. • Access to fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS) functionality (supported through SNMP and Cisco IOS or Catalyst OS software) through GUIs that you can operate without SNMP or Cisco IOS or Catalyst OS software expertise. • Many operations can be performed to several Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers, simplifying the management of a large deployment of multiple switches. • CEMF event browser or performance manager provide historical information analysis. • Configuration of Ethernet, PoS, ATM, and Sonet modules. • Configuration management, including backup and restore operations. • Software-download initiation. Catalyst 6000 Family Overview The Catalyst 6000 family consists of the 6-slot Catalyst 6006 switch and the 9-slot Catalyst 6009 switch. The Catalyst 6500 series consists of the 6-slot Catalyst 6506 switch, the 9-slot Catalyst 6509 switch, the 9-slot Catalyst 6509NEB switch (shown in Figure 1-1), and the 13-slot 6513 switch. These high-performance, modular, frame-based switches support high-density Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet in both campus-backbone and server-aggregation environments. The Catalyst 6006 and the Catalyst 6009 switches have a 32-Gbps switching capacity, while the Catalyst 6506, the Catalyst 6509, and the Catalyst 6509-NEB switches can support a backplane architecture that scales from 32 Gbps to 256 Gbps. All platforms share the same supervisor engines, switching modules, and software, and support redundant configurations of supervisor engines, power supplies, and port interfaces. For additional information about the Catalyst 6000 family switches, refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Installation Guide.
