Compatibility of 4548 SFP Line Card with WS-X4516-10GE Sup Engine

[syed.shameem1]

Hi All,

I've 4500 Core Switch with 4507R chasis, Sup V-10GE(WS-X4516-10GE) along with 2 WS-X4306-GB line Cards, but now I require a line card for 14 more fiber uplinks and I cannot go with 3 of 4306 as there are only 2 slots left. I've checked and found that E series line cards does not work with Sup V Engine.

As per the link below, I found that "WS-X4448-GB-SFP" is compatible, Please advise whether I can go ahead with this...

Hi Syed,

Yes, you can use this classic line card WS-X4448-GB-SFP which is compatible with Sup-V10GE

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series offers two classes of line cards: classic and E-Series.

• Classic line cards provide 6 gigabits of switching capacity per slot.
  
• E-Series line cards provide increased switching capacity per slot. This increase in per-slot switching capacity with the E-Series line cards requires the Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series chassis and the Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series Supervisor
  

Please refer this below doc which explain this detail,
