WS-X6748-SFP Use Case
Data Center Core Aggregation with WS-X6748-SFP on Cisco 7600/Catalyst 6500
In a high-density data center core, the WS-X6748-SFP 48-port GigE fabric-enabled module aggregates Top-of-Rack switches via SFP fiber links into a Cisco 7600 or Catalyst 6500 chassis. This delivers a non-blocking 48 Gbps GigE fabric, low-latency interconnect and seamless port expansion, boosting throughput by up to 40% and simplifying fiber-based scaling.
Campus Distribution Resiliency via VSS and WS-X6748-SFP
At a large university campus, dual Catalyst 6500 chassis equipped with WS-X6748-SFP modules form an active/active Virtual Switching System (VSS) to aggregate building uplinks over SFP fiber. The fabric-enabled design eliminates Spanning Tree Protocol blocking, enables sub-50 ms failover and provides up to 96 GigE port density, significantly enhancing network availability and operational simplicity.
Metro Ethernet Service Edge Using WS-X6748-SFP on Cisco 7600
A service provider edge deploys the WS-X6748-SFP 48-port GigE module in a Cisco 7600 chassis to deliver customer Ethernet circuits via SFPs into an MPLS core. This solution offers rapid service turn-up, SLA-grade bandwidth guarantees and a field-upgradeable path to 10 GigE, accelerating revenue streams and maintaining competitive service agility.
