The Cisco VS-S720-10G-3C Supervisor 720 is a high-performance service module for Catalyst 6500/7600 series that integrates two 10GbE uplinks with MSFC3 routing and PFC3C hardware forwarding.
The VS-S720-10G-3C is compatible with Cisco Catalyst 6500, 6500E and 7600 series chassis in the supervisor slot.
It features two fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports for high-speed uplink connectivity.
Key features include 720 Gbps switching capacity, integrated MSFC3 for Layer 3 routing, PFC3C for hardware QoS and NetFlow, and two 10GbE uplinks.
MSFC3 (Multilayer Switch Feature Card 3) provides advanced Layer 3 routing, while PFC3C (Policy Feature Card 3C) delivers hardware-based forwarding, QoS and NetFlow.
It delivers up to 720 Gbps of fabric capacity and wire-rate Layer 2/3 forwarding at over 50 million packets per second.
Yes, it supports redundant supervisor engines and stateful switchover for nonstop forwarding and high availability.
The module ships with 2 GB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash memory for IOS images and configuration data.
The Supervisor 720 typically consumes 100 W under normal load, with a maximum draw of 150 W.
Power down the chassis, slide the Supervisor 720 into the supervisor bay, secure the latches, then power on and verify status LEDs.
After installation, enter global configuration mode in IOS, use the "ip routing" command, and enable desired routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP) on MSFC3.
The module includes the IP Base license; for advanced features like MPLS or advanced security, an IP Services or Enterprise license is required.
By offloading routing and QoS to hardware, it supports thousands of routes and MAC entries while maintaining wire-rate performance.
Yes, it is a drop-in replacement in the same supervisor slot and supports seamless upgrade with redundant deployments to avoid downtime.
It operates at 0–40 °C, stores at –25–70 °C, and tolerates 10–85% non-condensing humidity per Cisco environmental guidelines.
