About the Cisco Catalyst 4500 WS-C4507R+E Cisco Catalyst switch
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 WS-C4507R+E delivers enterprise-class switching performance through a 7-slot modular chassis architecture that supports dual supervisor redundancy with Stateful Switchover (SSO) and Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF). With a backplane bandwidth of 848 Gbps and forwarding rate of 250.6 Mpps when equipped with Supervisor Engine 7-E, this platform is engineered to handle demanding data center and campus network deployments without compromise. Network engineers and infrastructure teams building resilient, high-throughput environments will find the WS-C4507R+E a foundational component for mission-critical switching operations.
The Catalyst 4500E chassis accommodates five line card slots plus two dedicated supervisor slots, enabling flexible configuration for diverse traffic patterns and workloads. Cisco's comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 feature set includes IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support, Spanning Tree variants (PVST+, RSTP, MST), and hardware routing for both IPv4 and IPv6 via protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and IS-IS. Security is reinforced through Cisco TrustSec (SGT), MACsec (802.1AE), DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and IP Source Guard. The platform supports redundant, load-sharing power supplies for operational continuity and includes hardware-based QoS with ingress and egress classification, marking, queuing, and policing. Virtual networking capabilities encompass LISP and VXLAN gateway functionality, while management leverages Cisco IOS-XE, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, NetFlow, and Cisco DNA Center integration.
