"Not only is more capacity coming to the edge of the network, but more intelligence as well." Leading Integrated Security, Availability and IP services In today's network environment, the edge of the network faces increased security and availability issues that increase the risk of downtime The time during which a computer is not functioning due to hardware, operating system or application program failure. . To address these issues, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 32, with Policy Feature Card 3B, extends core innovations to the network edge. Based on the industry-leading Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 720 technology, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 32 now allows customers to cost effectively enable hardware based security features, such as DoS mitigation MITIGATION.

The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. . Additionally, the new Generic Online Diagnostics (GOLD) feature for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series proactively detects and addresses potential faults in the switch before they impact network traffic and switch availability. In addition to high availability features and technology, Cisco is sharing its 20 years of experience in building resilient See resiliency. networks by announcing new advanced services, training and design guides to maximize network uptime. Cisco is also announcing the Cisco Network Connectivity Center management tool which identifies connectivity problems in realtime for faster network troubleshooting Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving. It is the systematic search for the source of a problem so that it can be solved. Troubleshooting is often a process of elimination - eliminating potential causes of a problem. . End-to-End 10 GbE over Existing Fiber Building on its 10GbE market leadership, the Cisco Catalyst switch portfolio is extending 10GbE support to the network edge in its modular switches. The new Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 32 is offered with a choice of two 10GbE XENPAK-based or eight one GbE Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP SFP Small Form-factor Pluggable (optical transceiver module) SFP Société Française de Physique (French Physics Society; Paris) Sfp Svenska Folkpartiet (Finnish: Swedish People~s Party) ) based uplinks. Additionally, new to the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series is a Layer 2/3/4 Supervisor Engine V-10GE which offers dual wire-speed 10 GbE ports or four GbE ports to maximize the flexibility of deployment options. The combination of 10GbE and GbE ports on the same supervisor engine provides investment protection in the LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. access- with an easy migration path to 10GbE by simply adding 10GbE optical interfaces. Both the Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 4500 series supervisor engines also include integrated NetFlow for more comprehensive network visibility, security and manageability. Customer Trends Drive Broadest 10/100/1000 and PoE Portfolio Customers are investing in IP telephony and increasingly deploying 10/100/1000 to the desktop. Today, Cisco is introducing the industry's first GbE enabled phone, the Cisco IP Phone 7971G-GE, to allow unconstrained GbE bandwidth from the network to desktops. Also, Cisco is announcing one of the industry's most comprehensive sets of 10/100/1000 Ethernet switches A device that connects clients and servers to each other in an Ethernet network.

Additions to the Cisco Catalyst portfolio include new Cisco Catalyst 3750 with StackWise(TM) technology and the Cisco Catalyst 3560 models that support 24- and 48-port 10/100/1000 with optional standards based PoE. These new models will help enable broader 10/100/1000 and PoE deployment options with integrated security, availability and quality of service (QoS). Also announced are new Cisco Catalyst 6500 LAN Access Interface modules offering additional scalability, manageability and investment protection. These include new 48-port 10/100/1000, and 48-port 10/100 modules with enhanced QoS and cable fault detection capabilities for simplified management, and a 96-port 10/100 (RJ21) module for high port densities in compact form factors. All of these modules offer extended investment protection through modular field upgradeable standards based PoE daughter cards. Other additions to the Cisco Catalyst 6500 include a new 48-port 100BASE-X module to support highly secure 100Mbps fiber deployments, a new 6000Watt power supply for simplified high density PoE deployments and a Cisco Catalyst Content Switching Module with integrated SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data.
