VS-S2T-10G Use Case

Data Center Core Aggregation with VS-S2T-10G-Cisco 6500 Supervisor 2T

In a large enterprise data center, the VS-S2T-10G-Cisco 6500 Supervisor 2T Catalyst 6500 Supervisor 2T – 2 ports 10GbE X2 – 2 ports SFP – MSFC5 PFC4 aggregates multiple access-layer switches over two 10GbE X2 uplinks. This configuration delivers sub-50µs latency, non-blocking 2Tbps switching, and integrated Layer 3 services for seamless east-west traffic. The outcome: simplified management, predictable QoS, and 5× higher throughput for virtualized workloads.

Campus Network High-Availability Deployment with Supervisor Engine 2T

A university IT department uses the Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 2T – VS-S2T-10G – 2 ports 10GbE X2 – 2 ports SFP – MSFC5 PFC4 for dual-homed access switches across 10 buildings. The MSFC5 control plane and PFC4 forwarding plane ensure nonstop Layer 3 failover with sub-second convergence. Benefit: 99.999% uptime for critical e-learning platforms, centralized policy enforcement, and granular multicast for campus video streaming.

Service Provider MPLS Edge with Cisco 6500 Supervisor 2T

A regional service provider deploys the VS-S2T-10G-Cisco 6500 Supervisor 2T Catalyst 6500 Supervisor 2T – 2 ports 10GbE X2 – 2 ports SFP – MSFC5 PFC4 at aggregation POPs to terminate VPNs, apply traffic shaping, and run MPLS L3VPN. The dual 10GbE X2 interfaces balance 5Gbps encrypted tunnels while the MSFC5 offloads BGP/MPLS processing. Outcome: scalable multi-tenant QoS, sub-millisecond convergence, and reduced CAPEX by 40% through consolidation.
