Cisco 6506-E Replacement and support for replacement

[otislee]

Hi Community,

Somewhat new to networking but I was recently tasked with finding a replacement for a Cisco 6506-e and also getting support to help move the config from the 6506-e to the new appliance. Any help with this or point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

The most "like" replacement would be the 9407 (which is sort of the newer version of the 4507).

otislee,

Is this being used for user access (PoE, 10/100/1000, etc) or Dist / Core (10G agg, no PoE, etc) ? Can you provide a full "show module" output ? That may help to determine which replacement is most appropriate.

Cheers,

What port density are you "chasing" for? 1-, 10-, 40- or 100 Gbps?
