About the Cisco VS-SUP2T-10G Cisco Catalyst supervisor / route processor
The Cisco VS-SUP2T-10G supervisor engine delivers enterprise-class routing and switching performance with 848 Mpps forwarding throughput and 440 Gbps per-slot switching capacity, making it the control plane and forwarding engine foundation for mission-critical carrier and data center deployments. This Supervisor Engine 2T module, engineered for the Catalyst 6500 and 6800 Series chassis, combines high-speed packet processing with advanced traffic intelligence and redundancy capabilities that network engineers depend on for always-on operations.
Built on Cisco's QuantumFlow Processor architecture, the VS-SUP2T-10G (part number VS-SUP2T-10G) supports hardware-accelerated routing at scale—up to 1 million IPv4 routes with full IPv6 forwarding, MPLS switching, and line-rate Flexible NetFlow v9 analytics. Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports (SFP+) provide high-bandwidth interconnect options, while a dedicated 1000BASE-T management port and console connection ensure out-of-band access. Network operators and IT procurement teams value this module for its stateful switchover, non-stop forwarding, and graceful restart capabilities, which eliminate planned and unplanned downtime. Virtual Switching System support enables logical aggregation across multiple chassis. The supervisor supports 1:1 redundancy through dual supervisor configuration and runs Cisco IOS or Cisco IOS-XE software, ensuring compatibility across enterprise environments.
