The Cisco Catalyst 6500 series is a lead element in Cisco's Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data, AVVID) providing a number of IP telephony and network security features for the Enterprise.
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series delivered the industry's first Ethernet switching modules that provided inline power for converged data and voice traffic as well as other inline powered devices, such as wireless access points. Several Catalyst 6500 series interface modules support inline power or "power over Ethernet" on each interface port, allowing customers to build campus multiservice data and voice networks for wiring closets with the following features:
Using existing Category 5 UTP installations, the Inline Power feature enables network administrators to control power distribution from a central location. When Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches are configured with uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, it ensures that building power outages will not affect network telephony connections, providing greater network availability.
Enabled by a daughter card for "pay as grow" flexibility, several Catalyst 6500 series 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface modules support the Cisco Inline Power. Once ratified, some of these interface modules will also support the IEEE 802.3af standard as an additional upgrade option. The Cisco Catalyst Inline Power feature implementation passes the required domestic and international safety regulations and compliance measures.
The Cisco phone discovery feature eases network management burdens by automating the Inline Power feature. With phone discovery, the Cisco Catalyst switch detects the presence of an IP phone and supplies inline power automatically, eliminating the need to manually enable ports for inline power. The phone discovery mechanism is intelligent enough to differentiate between an IP phone and a network interface card (NIC), and will not supply inline power to NICs or other devices not designed to use inline power. With this feature, network administrators can depend on automatic and centralized control of inline power that is safe to deploy and maintain.
The unique Auxiliary VLAN feature offered by Cisco provides automatic VLAN configuration for IP phones. It places phones into their own VLANs automatically, simplifying the task of overlaying a voice topology onto a data network. It allows network administrators to easily segment phones into separate logical networks, even though the data and voice infrastructure is physically the same—greatly simplifying the task of managing a multiservice network and identifying and troubleshooting network problems.
The Auxiliary VLAN feature maintains VLAN assignments, even when phones are moved to new locations. When a user plugs a phone into the switch, the switch provides the phone with the necessary VLAN information.
Network administrators can assign IP phones to separate IP subnets and VLANs to allow separate quality of service (QoS) or security policies for IP phones. By deploying AutoQoS that configures QoS on voice ports automatically, the administrative task of configuring QoS to establish end-to-end traffic prioritization is greatly simplified.
Cisco IBNS builds on and enhances the capabilities of industry standard IEEE 802.1X by providing increased security and greater flexibility for Enterprise wired or wireless network access. Policies are associated with users, not physical ports. This provides users with greater mobility and freedom allowing security and service level policies to travel with them throughout the Enterprise. As a result, network scalability is increased while simplifying network management through centralized policy enforcement and dynamic provisioning. Centralized policy-based administration decreases the time, complexity, and effort associated with port security techniques at the Media Access Control level. Cisco IBNS can help to quickly provision support for cross-functional or new project teams, enable secure access for trusted partners and vendors, and facilitate secure conference-room connectivity.

The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series offers advanced network management features to make it easy to manage fast-growing networks. This includes Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) supported on the new 48 port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Modules (WS-X6148-GE-TX, and WS-X6548-GE-TX). TDR tests cabling by sending a signal down the cable, reporting cable breaks, cable crimps, and improperly wired cable.
All Ethernet modules support extensive interface-level statistics including four remote monitoring (RMON) groups, alarms, events, history, and statistics. Additional RMON groups (all nine groups) may be monitored using the integrated Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series network analysis module (NAM) or switch probes.
For in-depth network analysis, the Enhanced Switched Port Analyzer (Enhanced SPAN) feature enables network managers to redirect traffic from each switched port to a specific virtual LAN (VLAN), allowing them to add, move, and easily change group access to network resources from centralized locations using CiscoWorks network management software.
Support for local, out-of-band management is delivered through a terminal or modem attached to the console/aux interface of the supervisor engine. Remote in-band management is available via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) versions 1, 2 and 3.
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface modules feature three classes of forwarding architectures and switch fabric interconnections —Classic, CEF256 and CEF720—provide a choice of speeds and forwarding rates. Table 3 highlights the key differences in the 3 classes of forwarding / switch fabric architectures.
