&gt;My question is in order for him to utilize the fullest potential in the Supervisor, shouldnt he also run the &gt;WS-F6700-DFC3CXL on all 6700 series cards?<br />
<br />
Yes, when the Distributed Forwarding Card-3 is installed, modules that are DFC-enabled make forwarding decisions locally, leaving the supervisor engine free to perform routing and management functions.<br />
<br />
The Distributed Forwarding Card-3 replicates Layer 2 and 3 forwarding logic of the Supervisor 720's PFC-3 on each DFC-3 equipped linecard. This enables hardware acceleration of IPv6, MPLS, GRE, QoS, ACL policy enforcement and more. <br />

Thanks Billy,<br />
If he's only running with WS-F6700-CFCs then isn't it a waste to use the sup720-3CXL? My understanding is that the Supervisor will only perform to the level the 6700 series cards are upgraded to. Is this correct?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hi,<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I have a customer that wants to install the above Supervisor along with a 6724-sfp. The 6724 does not have the WS-F6700-DFC3CXL on it. My question is in order for him to utilize the fullest potential in the Supervisor, shouldnt he also run the WS-F6700-DFC3CXL on all 6700 series cards? Any help would be appreciated.<br />

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
