Catalyst 5000 Family Multilayer Switches

Catalyst 5000 Series

The Cisco Catalyst 5000 Series consists of the following multilayer switching systems:

• Catalyst 5000

  The Catalyst 5000 platform is a 5-slot chassis that supports both wiring closet and data center applications. The Catalyst 5000 supports all supervisor engines and will support all new line cards to create a complete networking solution.

  Supervisor II engine ports on 10/100 ports on Fast EtherChannel-capable line cards enable high-speed connectivity between switches, switches and routers, and switches and servers. Up to four Fast Ethernet ports can be grouped to provide up to 800 Mbps of load-sharing, redundant, and point-to-point connections between the Catalyst 5500, 5509, 5505, 5002, and 5000 switches. To achieve higher bandwidth, Gigabit EtherChannel can be deployed, which supports up to 8 Gbps (full-duplex) of inter-switch bandwidth, and is supported across the Catalyst 5000 Family.

  The Catalyst 5000 chassis fits into a standard 19 in. (48.26 cm) rack, and all system components are accessible from the same side of the chassis.

• Catalyst 5002

  The Catalyst 5002 is a 2-slot chassis, and is designed to address the needs of smaller environments that require Catalyst 5000 performance. One slot is used by the supervisor engine, which supports two built-in FastEthernet ports, and the second slot connects to any Catalyst 5000 Family module tenable Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, or ATM.

  The Catalyst 5002 chassis comes with two built-in redundant power supplies, and supports all supervisor engines and the Route Switch module.

Catalyst 5500 Series

The Cisco Catalyst 5500 Series consists of the following multilayer switching systems:

• Catalyst 5500

  The Catalyst 5500 is a high-end modular switching platform that provides the scalability, flexibility, and redundancy required for building large, switched intranets and can be used in both wiring closet and backbone applications. It has 13 slots and a gigabit Ethernet-ready architecture that scales to more than 50 Gbps and throughput of tens of millions of packets or cells per second (pps).

• Catalyst 5505

  The Catalyst 5505 is a high-performance, 5-slot chassis for the evolving Catalyst 5500 Series. It combines the size of the original Catalyst 5000 with the performance boost and added features of the Catalyst 5500. The Catalyst 5505 is ideal for high-performance wiring closets and data applications.

• Catalyst 5509

  The Catalyst 5509 has 9 slots and is ideally suited for both wiring closet and backbone applications. The Catalyst 5509 supports high density, dedicated Token Ring or 10/100/1000 ethernet switching. The Catalyst 5509 can support high density switching with only a 15 Amp circuit requirement, allowing for installation in most wiring closet environments.

  The Catalyst 5509 chassis fits into a standard 19 in. (48.26 cm) rack, and all system components are accessible from the same side of the chassis. Only one power supply is required to run a fully configured system.
