Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Virtual Switch supervisor engine VS-S720-10G-3C combines 2 * X2-base 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and hardware-based layer2-4 switching.

The combination enables high availability, operational efficiency and increased throughput with scalable performance with ease of deployment.

The supervisor engine VS-S720-10G-3C is a primary factor of the Cisco VSS 1440 Virtual Switching System, the technology pools multiple Catalyst 6500 Series switches into single virtual switch, increasing the system bandwidth to 1.4 Tbps.

Configuring VSS with supervisor engine VS-720-10G-3C by using Multi-chassis EtherChannel brings numerous advantages to networks.

Such as increasing operational efficiency, boosting nonstop communication, providing slot efficiency, increasing throughput and improving resiliency.
