6509 non-e chassis

[Mukesh Kumar]

I want to install 10gig line cards on 6509 non-e chassis. Can anyone suggest me which model of line card i have to install?

Does that line card model support my current SUP engine "WS-SUP720-3BXL"?

How many line card this SUP engine can support?

If you're going to have Sup720, which has a 40 Gbps backplane, then the only line card that is line-rate is WS-X6704-10G

Thanks for the information.

Is my current sup engine doesn't support 16-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Copper Module Line card?

But why do you want to install a WS-X6716-10T?  It's not as if your supervisor card can push 160Gbps line rate.  The most a Sup720 can push is 40 Gbps (per slot) so you have an over-subscription rate of a whooping 4:1.
