This buffer memory upgrade significantly improved our line card's ability to handle bursty traffic. The 256MB Tx/Rx balance is perfect for our needs.
Great performance boost for our packet-over-SONET cards. The additional buffer prevents packet loss during peak congestion periods. Very satisfied with the stability.
Reliable and effective. This memory upgrade is essential for maintaining high service quality on our edge interfaces. Installation was simple and effective.
Excellent ROI. By upgrading the buffer memory, we've extended the life of our existing line cards while meeting modern traffic demands.
Professional grade memory. It handles our high-volume data streams with ease, providing the consistent throughput required for carrier-grade applications.
The MEM-PKT-512-UPG is a line card buffer memory upgrade module providing 256 MB transmit and 256 MB receive buffering to enhance packet throughput and reduce loss.
MEM-PKT-512-UPG is compatible with Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 6800 Series supervisor and line cards that support the 512-packet buffer upgrade.
By doubling the transmit and receive buffer capacity, MEM-PKT-512-UPG minimizes packet drops under congestion, stabilizing throughput and reducing latency.
MEM-PKT-512-UPG offers 256 MB of transmit buffer, 256 MB of receive buffer, 72-pin DDR2 architecture, and operates at 800 MHz.
Yes, on supported platforms MEM-PKT-512-UPG can be installed or replaced without system downtime, ensuring continuous network operation.
No software upgrade is required; the system automatically recognizes the new buffer capacity once the module is installed and powered on.
Yes, you can combine MEM-PKT-512-UPG with existing line card memory as long as the total does not exceed the platform’s maximum buffer capacity.
Ensure your device is running IOS 15.x or later to fully support MEM-PKT-512-UPG’s enhanced buffering features.
Follow the line card upgrade guide: power down the card, replace the memory module, secure it, then power the card back on for automatic detection.
No additional license is required; the buffer upgrade is hardware-based and activates automatically upon installation.
MEM-PKT-512-UPG includes a one-year limited hardware warranty, extendable via Cisco SMARTnet support contracts.
Verify module seating, check system logs for buffer recognition, and confirm IOS compatibility; contact support if errors persist.
Transmit buffer memory queues outgoing packets for smooth egress, while receive buffer memory holds incoming packets during peak traffic to prevent drops.
You can buy MEM-PKT-512-UPG through authorized Cisco resellers, the Cisco online store, or certified distribution partners.
Yes, volume discounts apply for bulk orders; contact your Cisco account manager or reseller for pricing tiers.
