❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

❓ In which Cisco chassis can I install this Supervisor Engine WS-SUP32-GE-3B?
This supervisor module is compatible with all Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series modular chassis (6503, 6504, 6506, 6509, 6513) and Cisco 7600 Series Router (7603, 7604, 7606, 7609, 7613). It installs in the dedicated supervisor slots (usually slots 5 and 6 for large chassis). Ensure that your chassis has a high-speed fan tray required for optimal cooling of the WS-SUP32-GE-3B. Full compatibility with existing modular data center architectures.
❓ What is the difference between the PFC3B and earlier versions like PFC2?
The PFC3B (Policy Feature Card 3B) integrated into the Supervisor Engine 32 offers significant advantages: hardware MAC learning for increased performance, CPU rate limiters for protection against DoS attacks, user-based rate limiting for granular bandwidth control. Compared to the PFC2, the PFC3B adds hardware DHCP Snooping, accelerated Dynamic ARP Inspection, and IP Source Guard in silicon. These advanced network security features run without impacting switching performance, ideal for secure edge networks and PCI-DSS compliance.
❓ Can I use this supervisor in redundancy with another supervisor module?
Absolutely! The WS-SUP32-GE-3B supports 1+1 supervisor redundancy for high availability. Install two identical supervisors in your Catalyst 6500 chassis, one active and the other standby. In case of failure of the active supervisor, automatic failover occurs within seconds. With NSF/SSO (Non-Stop Forwarding / Stateful Switchover), the failover becomes transparent without interrupting network traffic. Ideal configuration for critical data centers, campus core networks, and infrastructures requiring 99.99% availability.
❓ Which SFP modules are compatible with the 8 Gigabit uplink ports?
The 8 uplink SFP ports accept all certified Cisco SFP 1 Gigabit transceivers: SFP-GE-S (1000BASE-SX short distance multimode 550m), SFP-GE-L (1000BASE-LX/LH single mode 10km), SFP-GE-Z (1000BASE-ZX long distance 70-80km). You can also use copper modules GLC-T (1000BASE-T RJ-45) for server connections. Compatibility with SFP CWDM and DWDM modules for metropolitan infrastructures. All 9 ports (8 SFP + 1 RJ-45) can be used simultaneously for maximum bandwidth aggregation.
❓ What version of Cisco IOS is required for this Supervisor Engine version V08?
The WS-SUP32-GE-3B V08 requires Cisco IOS version 12.2(17d)SXB7 minimum in hybrid mode or Cisco IOS 12.2(18)SXF or higher in native mode. To benefit from the latest security features and patches, we recommend IOS 12.2(33)SXI or later SX versions. In Catalyst OS mode, use CatOS 8.4(1) or higher. Check compatibility with your existing line card modules. IOS images available on cisco.com with an active CCO account and valid SmartNet contract.
❓ Does this supervisor support IPv6 routing and modern protocols?
Yes! The MSFC2A (Multilayer Switch Feature Card 2A) integrated card offers full support for dual-stack IPv4/IPv6. IPv6 routing is performed in hardware via the PFC3B for optimal performance. Supported protocols: OSPFv3, EIGRPv6, BGP-4+, IS-IS IPv6. Transition technologies included: IPv6 tunnels, 6to4, ISATAP. The supervisor also manages MPLS, VPLS, VRF-Lite for service provider architectures. Ideal for enterprise IPv6 migration, multi-site interconnection, and converged voice/data/video networks requiring advanced QoS.
❓ Can I monitor and manage this module via SNMP and network monitoring tools?
Perfectly! The Supervisor Engine 32 offers complete management via SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 (with encrypted authentication). Compatible with all network monitoring systems: Cisco Prime Infrastructure, SolarWinds, PRTG, Nagios, Zabbix. You can monitor: CPU/memory usage, module temperature, port status, CRC errors, interface traffic, QoS statistics. Support NetFlow v5/v9 for in-depth network flow analysis. Access via SSH, Telnet, console, HTTPS web interface. Logs exportable via Syslog to centralized servers for compliance and security audit.
