C6800-8P10G-XL= Use Case

High-Density Data Center Aggregation with Catalyst 6800 8PORT 10GE & Integrated DFC4XL

In a virtualization-heavy data center, the C6800-8P10G-XL with integrated DFC4XL consolidates east-west traffic from 10GbE-connected hypervisor racks into a single aggregation layer. By leveraging hardware-based flow processing and deep packet buffering, it delivers sub-50 µs latency, seamless VM migration and up to 320 Gbps of non-blocking throughput. Outcome: simplified topology, predictable performance at scale and 40% lower CAPEX/OPEX vs. legacy 1GbE fabrics.

Campus Core Fabric with Secure Segmentation & QoS Assurance

For large enterprise or university networks, the Catalyst 6800 8Port 10GE acts as the campus core, integrating DFC4XL to enforce advanced policy-based segmentation, voice/video QoS and NetFlow telemetry. In this scenario, departmental VLANs, VoIP gateways and wireless controllers converge on eight 10GbE uplinks with real-time traffic prioritization. Outcome: end-to-end SLA compliance, granular security posture and 30% improvement in application response times.

Dedicated Cloud-On-Ramp with Redundant 10GbE Uplinks

When connecting branch or headquarters sites to multi-cloud services (AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute), the C6800-8P10G-XL provides dual 10GbE uplinks and integrated DFC4XL for BGP peering, hardware acceleration of IPsec and granular flow analytics. This use case ensures active/standby failover, automated route convergence and zero-packet loss maintenance windows. Outcome: 99.999% uptime SLA, accelerated cloud-native workloads and 25% reduction in link-utilization costs.
