Key Features
The Cisco WS-F6700-DFC3C is a Distributed Forwarding Card (DFC) module for the Catalyst 6500 Series switches. It offloads the central CPU by providing high-performance, localized Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding decisions directly on the line card. This enhances overall system performance, supports QoS, and enables advanced features like multicast routing. It is an optional daughter card for CEF720-based line cards.
