adding a TenGiga module in cisco WS-C6509-E

[hi.sadiki]

Hello,

I have to add a TenGig card in my cisco WS-C6509-E.

We usualy add WS-X6708-10GE. But currently we only have WS-X6708-10G-3C left.

I already looked in cisco website for the compatibility but i am still unsure.

1- Is the WS-X6708-10G-3C works fine on the switch WS-C6509-E ?

2 - what is the difference between WS-X6708-10GE and WS-X6708-10G-3C ?

Thanks for your help.

It depends on your sup. If your sup is 3CXL, than you need WS-X6708-10G-3CXL card.  If your sup is not XL, than you can put WS-X6708-10G-3C but it will function as a non-XL card.

my sup is a :

 5    5  Supervisor Engine 720 10GE (Active)    VS-S720-10G

what do you think

The part number should have 3C or 3CXL at the end of it.

have a look at table-1 for the correct part numbers.
