Catalyst 4500 Series Switches
The Catalyst 4500 series switches consist of the Catalyst 4503 switch, the Catalyst 4506 switch, the
Catalyst
4507R switch, and the Catalyst 4510R switch. The switches are designed for high-performance,
high-density wiring closet applications. A detailed overview of these switches is in the
Catalyst 4500
Series Installation Guide.
Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches
The Catalyst 4500E series switches consist of the Catalyst 4503-E switch, the Catalyst 4506-E switch,
the Catalyst
4507R-E switch, and the Catalyst 4510R-E switch. The switches are designed for
high-performance, high-density wiring closet applications.
Supervisor Engines
Catalyst 4500 E-series switches can use many of the same supervisor engines and switching modules as
the Catalyst
4500 series switches. This section describe the supervisor engine newly available for the
Catalyst
4500 E-series switches or Catalyst 4500 classic switches:
• Catalyst 4500 E-Series Supervisor Engine 6-E, WS-X45-Sup6-E
