The Cisco RSP720-3CXL-10GE delivers 720 Gbps of switch fabric bandwidth and hardware-based forwarding performance of up to 400 Mpps, positioning it as a critical supervisor module for enterprises requiring high-throughput routing and switching in carrier-class networks. This single-slot supervisor engine integrates the PFC3CXL Policy Feature Card and MSFC3 Multilayer Switch Feature Card 3, enabling distributed processing across the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series Router platforms. The module features 1 GB of route processor DRAM, 256 MB of CompactFlash bootflash storage, and dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink interfaces in X2 form factor, ensuring sufficient memory and connectivity for demanding enterprise deployments. Hardware-based NetFlow v5/v9 support provides native visibility into network traffic patterns without additional processing overhead.

Network architects and IT infrastructure teams select the RSP720-3CXL-10GE when designing resilient core and distribution layer networks that demand wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding. The module supports 802.1Q VLAN trunking, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Rapid PVST+ for switched environments, while simultaneously offering OSPFv2/v3, BGP, IS-IS, EIGRP, RIP, and PIM multicast routing protocols for complex multi-domain topologies. Hardware-enforced IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs via the PFC3CXL ASIC and full IPv6 hardware forwarding ensure modern network security and scalability. Stateful Switchover (SSO), Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF), and In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) capabilities minimize downtime during planned maintenance and unplanned failover events. Hardware-based QoS with classification, marking, policing, and shaping supports service-level differentiation across business-critical applications.
