back Bone Switch

[rahman001]

Dear Sir/Ma,

I have configured a Cisco catalyst chassis (VS-C6509E-SUP2T) on Cisco Commerce Workspace(CCW).

I want to include a 48 Port PoE 10/100/1000 linecard but i could not get this from the included Ethernet module option.

Can I order a spare 48 Port PoE 10/100/100 linecard and what is the part number of the compatible linecard that can go with the catalyst chassis (VS-C6509E-SUP2T)

Cisco just recently went end-of-sale for 6500 PoE line cards.  (In Cisco's scheme, 6500 PoE would be supported by the new 6800ia switches.)

Also if you did find some 6500 PoE line cards, unsure they would be supported on a sup2t; they might be in non-VSS mode, but for how long?

You won't be able to buy this for long as all PoE line cards for the 6500 has been canned in favour of the 6880ia.

Be aware, the 6880ia is a DUMB switch that requires a parent switch.  I believe the parent switch, for the time being on the 6500E, requires a 6904-10Gb line card.

You can also use the 6880X/6807X as the parent switch for a 6880ia.
