In http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/6000hw/inst_aug/01over.htm
they speak about the Switch Fabric Module (WS-C6500-SFM or WS-X6500-SFM2) (Catalyst 6506 switch only)
what is the function of this module? ok it's the switch fabric but
when we buy a 6506 switch, do we need to buy this module separately? or is it integrated in the 6506?
thx

The following URL should answer your questions on SFM

No the SFM does not come integrated with 6506. It's a add on module and you need to have fabric enabled line cards to fully utilize the SFM. Also the SFM only works with a Supervisor 2 Engine. The SFM cannot function in a chassis with a Supervisor 1 or Supervisor 1A.
