The Cisco VS-S720-10G-3C Supervisor Engine 720 enhances switching capacity for Catalyst 6500 and Cisco 7600 Series chassis. It features one Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port, two SFP-based uplinks, and two X2-based 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. It offers hardware forwarding capabilities of up to 400 million packets per second (Mpps) and includes onboard policy enforcement through QoS mechanisms and NetFlow services for traffic monitoring. It is a primary factor of the Cisco VSS 1440 Virtual Switching System, pooling multiple Catalyst 6500 Series switches into a single virtual switch, increasing system bandwidth up to 1.4 Tbps. Key features include 720 Gbps switching capacity, integrated MSFC3 for Layer 3 routing, and PFC3C for hardware QoS and NetFlow. It supports up to 96,000 MAC addresses, 256,000 IPv4 routes, and 128,000 IPv6 routes. It ships with 2 GB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash memory. It delivers up to 720 Gbps of fabric capacity and wire-rate Layer 2/3 forwarding at over 50 million packet
