Cisco WS-X45-SUP8-E
Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series Supervisor 8-E w/ WS-UA-SUP8E
Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series Unified Access Supervisor, 928 Gbps
The Cisco Catalyst® 4500E Supervisor Engine 8-E is the next generation of enterprise-class switching engine that provides full convergence between wired and wireless networks on a single platform. This new Cisco® Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) powers the wireless convergence and helps enable uniform wired-wireless policy enforcement, application visibility, flexibility, and application optimization.
The new Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 8-E is an enterprise-class, access and aggregation supervisor engine designed to provide up to 928 Gbps of wired access per system with an E-Series chassis. The supervisor also supports up to 20 Gbps of wireless termination in a controller-less unified access deployment. Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 8-E provides 48 Gbps per slot with Flexible NetFlow (FNF), integrated Wireshark, and advanced security, combined with reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and excellent investment protection. These capabilities, along with eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and 10/100/1000 Power over Ethernet (PoE), PoE Plus (PoEP), and Cisco Universal PoE (UPoE) ports, make this supervisor engine the leading Cisco Unified Access supervisor engine in the Cisco Catalyst Family. Supervisor Engine 8-E is built with price-performance aggregation deployments in mind, helping to enable denser Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber deployments with enterprise-class aggregation functions. Supervisor Engine 8-E facilitates user experiences for enterprise, public sector, mid-market, and commercial customer business-critical applications.

◦ Virtual Switching System (VSS) for simplified loop-free topologies without Spanning Tree dependencies. (software roadmap)
◦ Flexible and future proofed uplinks with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to support next-generation protocols
◦ Automation through Embedded Event Manager (EEM), Cisco Smart Call Home, AutoQoS, and Auto SmartPorts for fast provisioning, diagnosis, and reporting
● Cisco Services
◦ Optimized application performance through deep visibility with FNF, supporting rich Layer 2, 3, and 4 information (MAC, VLAN, and TCP Flags) and synthetic traffic generation with IP service-level agreement (IP SLA-VO)
◦ Medianet capabilities to enhance and simply video QoS, monitoring, and security
◦ Energy-efficient design with Cisco EnergyWise technology to manage network, PoE+, Personal Computers and Laptops
● Investment protection and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)
◦ Full backward compatibility with 6-, 24-, and 48-Gbps slot line cards with no performance degradation
◦ The Supervisor Engine 8-E is compatible with classic Cisco Catalyst 4500 line cards and power supplies, providing full investment protection. It is not compatible with the classic Cisco Catalyst 4500 chassis. When you deploy the Supervisor Engine 8-E with classic line cards, all of the new features except the 24- and 48-Gbps per-slot switching capacity are inherited
