The Catalyst 4000 Layer 3 services engine is packaged on a switching line card with 32-port, 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet and two-port 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet using modular gigabit interface converter (GBIC) flexibility. When this Layer 3 services engine is installed in a chassis, silicon-based multiprotocol routing and Layer 3 QoS is possible for all ports in the system (including legacy switching line cards). This solution is ideal for wiring closet deployment in small, medium-sized, or large networks that require wire speed Layer 3 system uplink performance. Another application for the Catalyst 4003 is for server farm aggregation where Layer 3 services are required. The
Queuing (PFQ), differentiated delay priorities using a Weighted Round Robin (WRR) scheduler for delay-sensitive applications, and differentiated loss priorities for managing congestion and traffic policing and shaping. The fast packet memory embedded in the switching fabric is allocated dynamically on a per-queue (flow) basis. This dynamic allocation used in conjunction with user- defined queue thresholds and configurable queue scheduling weights ensures that time-sensitive traffic is handled properly with no packet loss. These thresholds and queuing weights can be dynamically adjusted with CiscoAssure Policy Networking, allowing an end-to-end QoS solution.

The Catalyst 4000 family Layer 3 engine provides an aggregate throughput of 6 million packets per second (pps) for Layer 3 switching that can scale higher by adding multiple Layer 3 services modules. This data rate apply to IP, IPX, IP multicast and bridged traffic, and are a result of using high-speed application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology to perform true Layer 3 switching. The Catalyst 4000 family’s Layer 3 services engine supports a high-performance architecture with 8 Gbps bandwidth. The switch fabric is capable of supporting all system ports with high-speed Layer 3 routing and QoS. The switch fabric is capable of supporting Layer 3 on dual Gigabit Ethernet uplinks simultaneously at wire rate.

The Catalyst 4000 family includes feature-rich switches with integrated full Cisco IOS implementations that allow network managers to continue to administer and manage their networks as they do today, while scaling their wiring closet QoS bandwidths to gigabit speeds. The Catalyst 4000 family supports all the routing protocols that are used today in campus networks. These protocols include: • Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) • Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP) • Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) • Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Versions 1 and 2 • Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Version 4 • Static routes • Route redistribution
