the catalyst 4506 switch supports the supervisor engine ii, ii+, ii+10ge, iii, iv,v, and v-10ge. the supervisor engine has a nonblocking, full-duplex, switching fabric that provides connections between the supervisor engine and the switching modules. the gigabit ethernet ports can be configured with any combination of copper 1000base-t, shortwave sx, lx/lh, and zx interfaces, or cwdm and dwdm gbics. for a description of gbics, refer to the catalyst 4500 series module installation guide or the catalyst 4500 series supervisor engines and switching modules installation note. some supervisor engines use sfp modules for gigabit ethernet connections, or x2 modules for 10-gigabit ethernet connections. refer to the installation note for your supervisor engine for moredetails on these modules.
slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine only, which provides switching, local and remote management, and switch-status monitoring. slots 2 through 6 are available for switching modules.
table 1-2 describes the features of the catalyst 4506 switch.
you will need to configure the 1400 w dc input current as appropriate for the model of switch. refer to appendix a,“specifications.”
