Pre-owned, used and refurbished Cisco WS-F6K-DFC3B

The Cisco WS-F6K-DFC3B is Distributed Forwarding Card designed for use with the 65xx and 6816 switch modules. The WS-F6K-DFC3B is to be used with Supervisor Engine 720 and replicates Layer 2 and 3 forwarding logic of the Supervisor 720's PFC-3 on each DFC-3 equipped linecard. This enables hardware acceleration of IPv6, MPLS, GRE, QoS, ACL policy enforcement and more. When the WS-F6K-DFC3B is installed, modules that are DFC-enabled make forwarding decisions locally, leaving the supervisor engine free to perform routing and management functions.

The Cisco WS-F6K-DFC3B available from MULTI-LINK (MLCP) isn't the only component in our extensive switch inventory. We maintain a diverse collection of current and previous generation equipment including modular and fixed-configuration switches, interface cards, and other insert components.
