[c-nsp] A bit of 6513-E confusion

[Matthew Huff]

Only with a Sup2T.

Q. Will you get 80 Gbps per slot with the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720?
 
A. No. The Cisco Catalyst 6513-E chassis with the future Sup2T will support 80 Gbps per slot on all 13 slots. The Cisco Catalyst 6513-E with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720 will have the same bandwidth caveats that exist on the current non-E 6513 chassis. With a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720, the fabric channel connections for the Cisco Catalyst 6513-E and 6513 (non-E) are distributed the same: that is, slots 1 through 8 are single channel with 20 Gbps capacity, and slots 9 through 13 are dual channel, providing 40 Gbps/slot. So with the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720, a Cisco Catalyst 6513-E will only support the 67xx line cards in slots 9 through 13.

With a 6513-E would you be able run it with:

2xSUP720-3BXLs
10xWS-6748(/w DFCs)
1x WS-6708?

I don't need the 10/100/1000 ports to be "line rate" either.

I know in the regular 6513 you can only put the higher-end cards in the last few slots, but I can't really find out if that is still true on the 6513-E.

Has anyone been brave enough to try it and could you share your results?

thanks,
-Drew
