Catalyst 4500E Architecture
New Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series Chassis
E-Series Chassis come in four different form factors: 3-slot (4503-E), 6-slot (4506-E), 7-slot (4507R+E), and 10-slot (4510R+E).
- 3 and 6 slot chassis have supervisors in slot 1 and are non redundant chassis (1 supervisor only)
Catalyst 4500E Series Supervisors
There are three main supervisor engines WS-X45-SUP7-E, WS-X45-SUP7L-E and WS-X45-SUP8-E available now for Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series.
New Supervisor Engine 8-E is hardware ready to provide up-to 20G of wireless termination. It is the next generation of enterprise-class switching engine and provides full convergence between wired and wireless networks on a single platform.
And the three supervisor engines–8-E, 7-E, and 7L-E work only with E-Series chassis.

Benefits of Migrating to Catalyst 4500-E Series with Supervisors 7-LE and 8-E
More Tips: A VSS combines a pair of switches into a single network element. It requires 2 chassis with 2 supervisors; the benefit is not only for the chassis redundancy, but also to double the system bandwidth in order to increase overall system performance.
Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series Line Cards
Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series line cards provide 24 or 48 Gb of switching capacity per slot. 24 or 48 Gb per-slot switching capacity requires the Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series chassis and the Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series Supervisor.
