2 Chapter 1 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, the Catalyst 6509-NEB, and the Catalyst 6513 switches support a backplane architecture that scales from 32 Gbps to 256 Gbps. With certain exceptions, all platforms share the same supervisor engines, switching modules, and software, and all support redundant configurations of supervisor engines, power supplies, and port interfaces. Exceptions are noted in the text. Typically, the Catalyst 6000 family Ethernet interfaces connect workstations and repeaters, while the Fast Ethernet interfaces connect workstations, servers, switches, and routers. The Gigabit Ethernet switching module provides a high-performance gigabit switching backbone, while the supervisor engine gigabit interfaces serve as uplinks that aggregate traffic from high-density 10/100-Mbps wiring closets. ATM LAN Emulation (LANE) and Multiprotocol over ATM (MPOA) support is provided by the ATM dual PHY OC-12 LANE/MPOA module. Throughout this publication, except where noted, the term supervisor engine is used to refer to both Supervisor Engine 1 and Supervisor Engine

3 Catalyst 6006 and Catalyst 6506 Switches Chapter 1 The Catalyst 6006 and Catalyst 6506 switches support the following: A supervisor engine with two Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports and an optional redundant supervisor engine The uplink ports are fully functional on the redundant supervisor engine in standby mode. Both supervisor engines in a single chassis must be completely identical. You can configure the redundant supervisor engines in a Catalyst 6000 family switch in one of three configurations: Two supervisor engines, each with no Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC) and no Policy Feature Card (PFC) Two supervisor engines, each configured with a PFC daughter card Two supervisor engines, each configured with both an MSFC and a PFC daughter card Up to five additional switching modules (Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and ATM) in any combination Fabric-enabled module support provided in all slots (requires Switch Fabric Module) (Catalyst 6506 switch only) Hot-swappable fan assembly and modules Redundant AC-input or DC-input power supplies Backplane bandwidth of 32 Gbps (Catalyst 6006 switch) or scalable up to 256 Gbps (Catalyst 6506 switch) Backplane bandwidth greater than 32 Gbps requires that you install a Switch Fabric Module in the Catalyst 6506 switch chassis. 1-4

4 Chapter 1 Catalyst 6009 and Catalyst 6509 Switches A Switch Fabric Module (WS-C6500-SFM or WS-X6500-SFM2) (Catalyst 6506 switch only) The Switch Fabric Module requires Supervisor Engine 2. You must install the Switch Fabric Module in either slot 5 or slot 6 of the Catalyst 6506 switch. For redundancy, you can install a standby Switch Fabric Module. The module first installed functions as the primary module. When you install two Switch Fabric Modules at the same time, the module in slot 5 acts as the primary module, and the module in slot 6 acts as the backup. If you reset the module in slot 5, the module in slot 6 becomes the primary module. Mixing an SFM (WS-C6500-SFM) with an SFM2 (WS-X6500-SFM2) in the same Catalyst 6506, Catalyst 6509, or Catalyst 6509-NEB chassis is supported. Catalyst 6009 and Catalyst 6509 Switches The Catalyst 6009 and Catalyst 6509 switch chassis have nine slots each. (See Figure 1-2.) Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine, which provides switching, local and remote management, and multiple gigabit uplink interfaces. Slot 2 can contain an additional supervisor engine, which can act as a backup if the first supervisor engine fails. If a redundant supervisor engine is not required, slot 2 is available for a switching module. For a detailed description of supervisor engine operation in a redundant configuration, refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Software Configuration Guide. 1-5

You can have a maximum of BASE-ZX GBICs per system to comply with EN55022 Class B. You can have a maximum of BASE-ZX GBICs (with plastic rails) per system or BASE-ZX GBICs (with metal rails) per system to comply with FCC Class A. 3. To comply with FCC Class A requirements, you can install up to 12 WS-G5483 GBICs in a Catalyst 6000 family switch chassis. Redundancy Catalyst 6000 family switches have these redundancy features: Ability to house two hot-swappable supervisor engines Ability to house two fully redundant, AC-input or DC-input, load-sharing power supplies In certain configurations, the power supplies are not fully redundant. Refer to the Power Supply Redundancy section on page A hot-swappable fan assembly containing multiple fans Redundant backplane-mounted clock modules Redundant backplane-mounted voltage termination (VTT) modules 1-16

13 Chapter 1 Switch Components Component Hot Swapping You can hot swap all modules (including the supervisor engine if you have a redundant supervisor engine) and the fan assembly. You can add, replace, or remove modules without interrupting the system power or causing other software or interfaces to shut down. Switch Components This section describes the major hardware components for the Catalyst 6000 family switches. Fan Assembly The system fan assembly provides cooling air for the supervisor engine and the switching modules. The fan assembly is located in the chassis. Figure 1-5 (Catalyst 6006 and 6506 switches), Figure 1-6 (Catalyst 6009 and 6509 switches), Figure 1-7 (Catalyst 6509-NEB switch), and Figure 1-8 (Catalyst 6513 switch) show the direction of airflow into and out of the switch. Sensors on the supervisor engine monitor the internal air temperatures. If the air temperature exceeds a preset threshold, the environmental monitor displays warning messages. We recommend that you maintain a minimum air space of 6 inches (15 cm) between walls and the chassis air vents and a minimum separation of 12 inches (30.5 cm) between two chassis to prevent overheating. If an individual fan within the assembly fails, the FAN STATUS LED turns red. Individual fans cannot be replaced. To replace a fan assembly, see the Removing and Replacing the Fan Assembly section on page Refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Software Configuration Guide for information on environmental monitoring. 1-17

14 Switch Components Chapter 1 Catalyst 6000 family chassis power supply configurations are shown in Table 1-2. Table 1-2 Catalyst 6000 Family Power Supply Configurations Catalyst 6000 Family Switch Catalyst 6006/6506 Catalyst 6009/6509 Catalyst 6509-NEB Catalyst 6513 Power Supply Configurations 1000W AC-input 1300W AC- and DC-input 2500W AC- and DC-input 1300W AC- and DC-input 2500W AC- and DC-input 4000W AC-input 1300W AC- and DC-input 2500W AC- and DC-input 4000W AC-input 2500W AC- and DC-input 4000W AC-input Catalyst 6000 family switches support redundant AC-input and DC-input power supplies. Unlike the Catalyst 4000 family and Catalyst 5000 family switches, the Catalyst 6000 family switches allow you to mix AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same chassis. Many telco organizations require a 48 VDC power supply to accommodate their power distribution systems. From an operational perspective, the DC-input power supply has the same characteristics as the AC-input version. The AC-input power supply (see Figure 1-9) has a detachable power cord (except for the WS-CAC-4000W) that allows you to connect each power supply to the site power source. You can connect the DC-input power supply (see Figure 1-10) to the power source with heavy gauge wiring connected to a terminal block. The wire gauge size is determined by local electrical codes and restrictions. The power cord is not shown in Figure

15 Chapter 1 Switch Components With redundancy enabled, if you power up the system with two power supplies of unequal wattage, both power supplies come online but a syslog message displays that the lower wattage power supply will be disabled. If the active power supply fails, the lower wattage power supply that was disabled comes online and, if necessary, selectively powers down certain modules so that the capacity of the remaining power supply is not exceeded. In a nonredundant configuration, the power available to the system is the combined power capability of both power supplies. The system powers up as many modules as the combined capacity allows. However, if one supply should fail and there is not enough power for all previously powered up modules, the system powers down some modules. You can change the configuration of the power supplies to redundant or nonredundant at any time. If you switch from a redundant to a nonredundant configuration, both power supplies are enabled (even a power supply that was disabled because it was of a lower wattage than the other power supply). If you change from a nonredundant to a redundant configuration, both power supplies are initially enabled, and if they are of the same wattage, remain enabled. If they are of different wattage, a syslog message displays and the lower wattage supply is disabled. For additional information about the power management feature and individual module power consumption, refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Software Configuration Guide. Environmental Monitoring of the Power Supply The environmental monitoring and reporting functions allow you to maintain normal system operation by resolving adverse environmental conditions prior to loss of operation. The power supplies monitor their own internal temperature and voltages. In the event of excessive internal temperature, the power supply will shut down to prevent damage. When the power supply returns to a safe operating temperature, it will restart. In the event of an abnormal voltage on one or more outputs of the power supplies, the OUTPUT FAIL LED will light. Substantial overvoltage conditions can lead to a power supply shutdown. The power supply front panel LEDs are described in Table 1-3. For more information about the environmental monitoring feature, refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Software Configuration Guide. 1-25

16 Switch Components Chapter 1 Table 1-3 Power Supply Front Panel LEDs LED INPUT OK FAN OK OUTPUT FAIL Description AC-input power supplies: Green when the input voltage is OK (85 VAC or greater) Off when the input voltage falls below 70 VAC or if the power supply shuts down DC-input power supplies: Green when the input voltage is OK ( 40.5 VDC or greater) Off when the input voltage falls below 33 VDC or if the power supply shuts down Green when the power supply fan is operating properly Red when there is a problem with one or more of the DC-output voltages of the power supply Power Supply Fan Assembly The power supplies have a built-in fan; air enters the front of the fan (power-input end) and exits through the back. An air dam keeps the airflow separate from the rest of the chassis, which is cooled by the system fan assembly. Power supply fans are not field-replaceable; the power supply must be replaced. To replace a power supply, see the Removing and Replacing the Power Supply section on page
