Frequently Asked Questions
What chassis types are compatible with the Cisco WS-X6748-GE-TX line card? +
The WS-X6748-GE-TX is specifically designed for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. It fits into any available slot in the Catalyst 6500 chassis, providing high-density 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Ensure your chassis backplane and supervisor engine are compatible with this module's bus architecture to maintain optimal performance levels across your enterprise network core.
Does the WS-X6748-GE-TX line card support Power over Ethernet (PoE)? +
No, the WS-X6748-GE-TX is a standard 48-port Gigabit Ethernet line card that provides data connectivity only. It does not include integrated PoE circuitry. If your deployment requires powering IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras directly from the switch, you should consider a PoE-capable line card from the Catalyst 6500 series that supports IEEE 802.3af standards.
What is the primary function of the WS-X6748-GE-TX in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 deployment? +
This module acts as a high-performance, high-density interface card intended to expand the port capacity of your Catalyst 6500 core or distribution layer. It facilitates efficient data throughput for enterprise LAN environments, offering 48 ports of 10/100/1000Base-T connectivity, making it an ideal choice for connecting high-speed servers, workstations, and uplink connections to secondary switches.
Can I use the WS-X6748-GE-TX module with a DFC for improved switching performance? +
Yes, this module supports Distributed Forwarding Cards (DFC). Adding a DFC allows the line card to handle local switching decisions, which offloads the supervisor engine and significantly increases the overall throughput of your Catalyst 6500 system. This is highly recommended for configurations requiring lower latency and higher scalability in demanding, traffic-heavy enterprise environments.
How does the WS-X6748-GE-TX handle traffic congestion and data integrity? +
This line card features integrated hardware-based Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, allowing for granular traffic prioritization. By leveraging the internal switching fabric of the Catalyst 6500, it effectively manages buffers to prevent packet loss during bursts of high traffic. These features ensure that mission-critical data flows remain stable and performant, even when the network interface is under heavy load.
Is the WS-X6748-GE-TX capable of Jumbo Frame support? +
The WS-X6748-GE-TX supports Jumbo Frames, which is essential for environments utilizing high-performance storage area networks or large data transfers. Enabling Jumbo Frames allows for a larger Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), resulting in improved network efficiency and reduced CPU overhead by processing larger packets. Ensure that all connected devices and switch ports are configured for the same MTU size to avoid fragmentation issues.
What management features are available for this Cisco line card? +
Management is performed through the Catalyst 6500 supervisor engine using industry-standard protocols such as SNMP, Syslog, and the Cisco Command Line Interface (CLI). Since the line card is integrated into the switch management plane, you can monitor individual port status, traffic statistics, and error rates in real-time, facilitating proactive troubleshooting and seamless integration into your existing network monitoring software suite.
Are there specific power requirements I should account for with the WS-X6748-GE-TX? +
Yes, the module consumes a specific amount of power from the Catalyst 6500 chassis power supplies. When adding this line card, it is critical to perform a power budget calculation for your chassis to ensure your existing power supplies can handle the increased load. You can review the Cisco hardware installation guide or the power calculator tools to verify adequate power headroom.
How can I obtain a bulk quote for multiple WS-X6748-GE-TX units? +
If you are planning a large-scale network upgrade and require multiple units, our sales team at BuyRouterSwitch.com is ready to assist. You can reach out to us directly through our online request for quote form or contact our sales representatives.
