Cisco Catayst 4500E Supervisor 7L-E is borderless campus access and aggregation supervisor engine providing 520Gbps switching capacity with E-Series chassis. Cisco Catalyst 4500 7L-E supervisor engines delivers exceptional nonblack with noninterrupted hardware switching with Flexible Netflow for optimized application visibility, in addition, the enterprise-class supervisor engine support full backward compatibility with 6G, 24G and 48Gbps slot line cards and power supplies without lowering performance to provide full investment protection. Enhanced operating system Cisco IOS XE with service virtualization supporting allows Catalyst 4500E to host third-party applications in parallel in order to communicate with Cisco IOS software to use its features to provide borderless network services. Best-In-Class resiliency feature improves the network reliability and allows supervisor-engine redundancy to prevent network outage when integrates with Cisco catalyst 4507R-E, 4507R+E, 4510R+E or 4510R-E chassis.

In addition, any two Catalyst 4500E series switch with 7L-E supervisor engine connected together with either 10G or 1G SFP can create VSS, which acts as a single catalyst switch delivers up to 1-Terabit of aggregate bandwidth with 450Mpps performance. The integration supports up to 480 ports of 1G and 124 ports of 10G system deployment with VSS. Cisco VSS simplifies network operation by using single management IP address, forms multichassis EtherChannel (MEC) to logical switch, provides a loop-free topology with no relies on STP, doubles system bandwidth by utilizing active-active MEC across two physical chassis and increases resiliency to minimize traffic disruption from switch or uplink failure.
