WS-C4507R-E Fiber Module Capacity

johnoliphant1
Level 1
Level 1

We have a  WS-C4507R-E that contains four Ethernet blades and one fiber blade in addition to two supervisors. We're in the process of adding more access switches in the rack, and at the same time we need more fiber capacity. With the new access switch capacity we think we might be able to remove one of the Ethernet blades from the 4507 and replace it with a second fiber module, and I'm here to see if I can verify that. Can this switch handle another blade full of 10GB fiber?

Thanks!

The 6 port 10g WS-X4606-X2-E needs a 24 Gbps fabric and your sup6 supports that, like the one you have already.  As far as know, there no limitations on 46xx cards in your 4507.

What your sup6 won't support is 48 Gbps cards, like the 4712-SPF+.  (Nor will your 4507R-E chassis support those or sup7 or 8.)
