4500-E series line-cards on 4507R

[handshake78]

Hi there,

I wonder are 4500-E series line cards (i.e. WS-X4648-GB-RJ45, WS-X4748-UPOE+E and WS-X4606-X2-E) supported on 4507R chassis?

Datasheet says "Classic line cards may be deployed in both classic and E-Series chassis with either classic Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series supervisor engines or with the Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series Supervisor Engine." But it says nothing about E-Series line-cards being (or not) supported on classic chassis (like 4507R).

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps4324/prod_qas0900aecd806d8b06.html

Q.Are the E-Series line cards supported in non-E-Series chassis?

A. No. The classic Cisco Catalyst 4000 and 4500 chassis maximum per slot capacity is 6 gigabits per slot.

As you may know the minimun bandwitdth per slot for the E-Linecards is 24Gbps, that´s why going from E-linecards to a Non E-Chassis will not work.

Regards,

Sony.
