Catalyst 5000 Series

Product Overvi ew

Cisco's Catalyst 5000 family offers a complete set of enterprise switching solutions spanning everything from the campus backbone to the desktop. The Cisco Catalyst 5000 family of switches builds on the award-winning architecture of the Catalyst 5000, while delivering two new chassis to address campus intranet needs.

With integrated frame and cell switching, full support for Cisco IOS-based routing, full support for Fast EtherChannel and ATM, and a migration path to future gigabit Ethernet and gigabit EtherChannel, the Catalyst 5000 family is well positioned to evolve as campus bandwidth needs grow.

The media-independent architecture supports all legacy LAN and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switching technologies through a wide range of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Token Ring, and ATM switch modules. The Catalyst 5000 family of switches will, over time, evolve to include support for new, emerging technologies such as gigabit Ethernet.

All Catalyst 5000 family switches support NetFlow switching as part of the architecture. NetFlow switching combines the simplicity and speed of switching with the intelligence and scalability of routing. This feature will enable multilayer switching scalability.

A route-switch module (RSM) delivers integrated support for Cisco IOS-based multiprotocol routing, and a NetFlow switching feature card option on supervisor engine II and III will scale your forwarding capacity to millions of packets per second.

Cisco's Catalyst 5000 family features four modular chassis: 2-, 5-, and 13-slot versions. All four chassis share the same set of interface modules and software features, providing scalability while maintaining interoperability and investment protection across all chassis.

The Cisco Catalyst 5000 family consists of the following multilayer switching systems:

Catalyst 5000

: The existing Catalyst 5000 platform is a 5-slot chassis, and it will continue to serve as a platform supporting both wiring closet and data center applications. The five module slots support the required supervisor engine and four additional interface modules. The Catalyst 5000 supports all supervisor engines (including the NetFlow switching feature card option, available in the future), and will support all new line cards as part of a complete solution.
: High-speed connectivity between switches, switches and routers, and switches and servers is provided using standard Fast Ethernet, FDDI, or ATM interfaces. Fast EtherChannel is supported on supervisor engine II ports and on new, Fast EtherChannel-capable line cards on which you can group up to four Fast Ethernet ports, providing up to 800 Mbps of load-sharing, redundant, point-to-point connections between Catalyst 5500, 5505, 5002, and 5000 switches. You can choose dual AC or DC power supplies for fault tolerance.
: The Catalyst 5000 chassis fits into a standard 19-inch rack, and all system components are accessible from the same side of the chassis.

Cata lyst 5002

: The Catalyst 5002 is a 2-slot chassis where one slot is used by the supervisor engine (supporting two built-in Fast Ethernet ports), and the second slot is used for any existing, or new, Catalyst 5000 family module for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, or ATM. The 5002 also supports all supervisor engines (including the NetFlow switching feature card option, available in the future) and the Route Switch module.

Catal yst 5500

: The Catalyst 5500, the 13-slot member of the Catalyst 5000 family, serves as the high-end modular switching platform. With a gigabit Ethernet-ready architecture that scales to more than 50 Gbps and throughput of tens of millions of packets or cells per second (pps), the Catalyst 5500 provides the scalability, flexibility, and redundancy required for building large, switched intranets and can be used in both wiring closet and backbone applications.
: At the same time, the new Catalyst 5500 protects your investment in current Cisco products by seamlessly integrating existing Catalyst 5000 and LightStream 1010 interface modules and features into the new 5500 chassis.

Catalyst 5505

: 5-slot member supporting dual supervisor engines, plus supervisor engine III with high capacity switch fabric.

**Table 8-2: Catalyst 5000 Series Major Software Features**
Feature	Functions	Benefits
Bandwidth Management
Fast EtherChannel	Enables two to four full-duplex Fast Ethernet links to be grouped together to form a single logical link or channel between devices that support Cisco's Fast EtherChannel.	Improves network performance by enabling higher-bandwidth channels. Provides bandwidth scalability within the campus by providing increments from 200 to 800 Mbps.
CGMP	CGMP allows Cisco IOS routers to download to a Catalyst switch the identity of multicast clients as they join a multicast group. Using this information, multicast streams are switched to only those ports interested in the specific multicast traffic.	CGMP provides scalable, multicast distribution for all IGMP-capable workstations. CGMP allows Catalyst switches to provide wire-speed multicast delivery while preventing excessive flooding across switched ports within a VLAN.
CGMP Fast Leave Processing	With CGMP Fast Leave Processing the Catalyst 5000 can detect an IGMP V.2 host leave message and immediately prune ports from the specified multicast forwarding tree after a quick check to make sure that no other hosts on the interface need multicast traffic from that particular multicast group.	Reduces processing latency for nodes leaving a multicast group. Ensures maximum performance for every switch port by quickly pruning multicast tree from ports that no longer want multicast traffic.
Broadcast Suppression	Allows the user to set a threshold level for broadcasts on a switch port. Additional broadcasts beyond that threshold rate are discarded.	Preserves network bandwidth by automatically throttling broadcast traffic to a preset level.
Multiple Spanning Trees	Cisco's Catalyst switches run an instance of spanning tree on each defined VLAN for optimal path determination and link utilization.	Enables load balancing and efficient use of links in a switched internetwork through the distribution of VLANs across all available uplinks.
Network Resiliency
Redundant Supervisors	When redundant supervisors are present in a Catalyst 550x chassis, the active supervisor automatically keeps the standby supervisor image and configuration synchronized.	Ensures fast, reliable switch over to a redundant supervisor in a Catalyst switch while minimizing any impact on network users or disruption to connectivity.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)	STP is an algorithm which runs in Catalyst switches to ensure full connectivity, optimal path selection, and loop avoidance in a layer 2 switched network topology.	Standards-defined protocol for avoiding network loops at layer 2 and activating redundant links when a primary link fails or a better path becomes available.
Portfast	STP enhancement for user ports on a switch. Allows the port to go immediately into spanning-tree Forwarding state by bypassing Listening and Learning states.	Allows user ports to gain immediate access to the network and avoids loss of a client's first transmitted frames, which are often used by NT and Netware servers to establish server connections.
VLANs
Dynamic VLANs, MAC-address based	Allows the switch to dynamically assign ports to a VLAN based on the source MAC address of the hosts connected to a Catalyst switch port. Utilizes a new protocol, Virtual Query Protocol (VQP), which communicates with the VMPS to determine which VLAN a user's switch port should be configured to.	Allows switch fabric to automatically configure user ports to the correct VLAN with no intervention from the network administrator. After a policy has been set up for a given user's MAC address, that user may plug into any Catalyst 5000 switch carrying their VLAN and be automatically assigned to their VLAN for instant connectivity.
Policy Server, VMPS I	Virtual Membership Policy Server is a server process that manages a database of host source MAC address-to-VLAN mappings that enables a user's workstation to be placed into the correct VLAN.	Empowers network administrators with the ability to define in a central database the VLAN membership policies for their network. Provides user mobility for any port within a switched internetwork.
ISL Trunking Protocol	Inter-Switch Link is a VLAN multiplexing protocol that allows a single link to carry traffic for multiple VLANs between switches by becoming an ISL trunk.	Enables efficient distribution of VLAN traffic across a switched internetwork.
VTP, VTP2	VLAN Trunking Protocol is a protocol that runs on Cisco Catalyst switches to ensure consistency of VLAN configuration between switches. VTP also dynamically maps VLANs across multiple LAN types with unique names and internal index associations. VTP2 extends this protocol to support Token Ring VLANs.	VTP greatly simplifies and helps avoid errors in the configuration of VLANs within the network. The dynamic mapping eliminates excessive device administration required from network administrators.
VTP Pruning	Allows the switch fabric to automatically prune the forwarding tree for VLANs in order to contain traffic from each defined VLAN to only those trunks that require this traffic.	Maximizes efficiency of inter-switch VLAN trunk bandwidth. Allows switched internetworks to scale more effectively by intelligently managing VLAN traffic on trunks and backbones.
Embedded Manageability
CDP	Cisco Discovery Protocol is a "hello-based" Layer 2 protocol that allows network management applications and internetworking devices to learn important attributes about their neighbors and their capabilities.	Provides fast, efficient discovery of Cisco devices on the network.
SNMP, MIB II Agent	The Simple Network Management Protocol provides a light weight protocol for network management stations to access and modify information in a switch. Management Information Base (MIB-II) provides an extensive list of standards-defined information objects or items within the switch.	Standards-based network management access to important switch configuration and monitoring information.
RMON Agent	The embedded mini-Remote Monitoring (RMON) MIB provides the Statistics, History, Alarms, and Events groups with a virtual agent on every Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Token Ring copper, and Token Ring fiber port in the Catalyst 5000.	Standards-based RFC 1757 RMON provides a very effective traffic analysis capability for each switch port. The Alarms and Events groups can be employed to create a powerful proactive management solution by automatically alerting a network administrator when preset thresholds are exceeded.
SPAN and E-SPAN	Switch Port Analyzer allows the administrator to mirror traffic from a user port, trunk port, or VLAN to an external network analyzer or RMON probe for in-depth traffic analysis.	Provides an effective troubleshooting tool and traffic analysis aid for Catalyst switches while leveraging existing investments in external probes and network analyzers.
Traps	Multiple standard and enterprise-defined traps may be sent from the Catalyst 5000 when predefined system events occur.	Traps provide an efficient standards-defined SNMP-based mechanism for notifying network administrators of important system events.
Syslog	Enables the Catalyst 5000 to internally log important events and to send syslog messages to a syslog daemon running on a management workstation for external logging.	Creates a flexible logging and tracking system for network administrators to obtain detailed event logs and save historical event data to spot trends and aid in troubleshooting their networks.
DISL	Dynamic Inter-Switch Link is an enhancement to Cisco's ISL VLAN trunking protocol that allows neighboring switches to automatically configure ISL trunk links.	Automates network configuration and eliminates user errors from incorrect manual configuration.
Security Services
Port Security	This feature allows the Catalyst 5000 to block input to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet port when the MAC address of a station attempting to access the port is different from the configured or learned MAC address for that port. Upon a violation the port is disabled, and a link-down trap is sent.	Provides a powerful and easy-to-configure security mechanism based on Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering on each switch port.
TACACS+ support	TACACS+ provides user authentication for access to the Catalyst 5000 system console by determining the identity of a user. Additionally, the Catalyst 5000 encrypts the user's password using the MD5 encryption algorithm before transmitting it to the TACACS+ server for authentication.	Provides security for access to the Catalyst 5000 system console to ensure that only authorized personnel can configure critical networking devices.
IP permit List	Allows an administrator to create a list of permitted IP addresses or subnets to access the system console via Telnet and SNMP agent services. Can send an SNMP trap and log the event to the syslog table when an access attempt is denied.	Adds security to inbound Telnet supervisor console logins and SNMP agent access. Provides a console security mechanism that may be used with or without TACACS+ security.

Hardware

The Cisco Catalyst 5000 family features three modular chassis: 2-, 5- and 13-slot versions. All four versions fit a standard 19-inch rack. (Rack-mounting hardware and cable guides can be ordered as spares.) Each chassis supports one required supervisor engine (the Catalyst 5500/5505 supports two supervisor engines), and up to two power supplies. All four chassis share the same set of line cards and software features--providing scalability while maintaining interoperability across all chassis.

The Catalyst 5000 family supports hot-swapping of all system components including supervisor engines, interface modules, power supplies, and fans. (Hot-swapping means that all system components can be removed, added, or changed without rebooting or taking the system off line.) Switching modules offer a wide variety of interface choices to accommodate all local area network technologies.

Catalyst 5000 Family Modules

This section describes some of the hardware modules available for the Catalyst 5000, the Catalyst 5002, the Catalyst 5505, and the Catalyst 5500 multilayer switching systems.

Supervisor engine I or II or III

: The supervisor engine modules support Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching and enable network management to provide a completely manageable switching system that delivers high-performance switching for even the most demanding workgroup applications.
: The supervisor engine module contains two Fast Ethernet interfaces for redundant connections to switches, routers, and servers. You can choose dual 100BaseTX and MII, or 100BaseFX in dual multimode, or dual single-mode uplinks. The media-independent interface frame-switching backplane accommodates Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, and ATM simultaneously. Further, with Cisco's Fast EtherChannel technology, the two ports can be configured as a single 400-Mbps, fault-tolerant connection.
: The additional benefits of supervisor engine II include support for Fast EtherChannel and Token Ring Switching modules, increased network management performance, and a daughter card that can be upgraded to support NetFlow switching.
: The additional benefits of supervisor engine III include the same as supervisor engine II plus a tripling of the switch fabric capacity and modular uplink capabilities with Gigabit Ethernet (ready) support.

10BaseT Ethernet switching module

: The 10BaseT Ethernet switching module supports 24 or 48 dedicated segments; each can be assigned to a different VLAN. Telco and RJ-45 interfaces are available.

Group Ethernet switching modules

: Group Ethernet and Fast Ethernet switching modules provide a method to divide users into managed switch groups. Group switching combines hub-costing and network management on one module; it is an alternative to shared-media hubs. The 10BaseT 48-port group switching Ethernet module has four 10BaseT Ethernet segments, with groups of 12 users per segment. You can switch each group of 12 ports to any Catalyst 5000 VLAN. Similarly, the 24-port group switching Fast Ethernet module has three 100BaseT Ethernet segments with eight users per segment.

Token Ring modules

: Implementation of Token Ring switching increases the effective bandwidth to end stations without obsoleting installed Token Ring network interface cards (NICs) or the network's wiring infrastructure. The Catalyst 5000 Token Ring module supports IEEE 802.5r specifications. This specification defines standards for the direct attachment of end stations (via concentrator port) to the switch and for the transmission of data at half-duplex (4/16 Mbps) and full-duplex (32 Mbps) speeds. These capabilities allow network administrators to microsegment overloaded ring segments and to provide dedicated switch ports for high-performance file servers. Shielded RJ-45 ports support both 150-ohm shielded twisted pair (STP) and 100-ohm unshielded twisted pair (UTP), providing wiring infrastructure flexibility.
: The multimode fiber Token Ring module supports the IEEE 802.5j standard for ring-in/ring-out (RI/RO) compliance as well as the fiber lobe attachment of end stations over a 2-km drive distance. The fiber ports also support the proprietary RI/RO signaling used for attaching to the IBM 8230 and the Olicom OC-3610 Controlled Access Unit.
: Both the copper and fiber Token Ring Switching modules require supervisor engine II or higher to be installed in the catalyst switch.

10/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet s witching module

: The 10/100BaseTX module supports autosensing and autonegotiation, which sets the appropriate speed and duplex mode (half or full) for the switched connection and adapter interface.

ATM LAN Emulation m odules

The ATM LAN Emulation dual PHY module delivers fault tolerance for critical network applications via two unique features:

Dual-homed ATM

: Dual PHY ATM allows network administrators to deploy redundant connections from one uplink port. Similar to FDDI dual homing, the Catalyst 5000 dual PHY module provides link redundancy by duplicating the data link with a primary and secondary interface. If connectivity is lost on the primary interface, data connectivity automatically switches over to the redundant secondary interface.

LAN Emulation (LANE) server redundancy

: Each Catalyst 5000 ATM LANE module delivers redundant LANE services using Cisco's LANE simple server redundancy protocol (SSRP). Cisco's SSRP allows the enterprise-wide deployment of ATM by removing LANE servers as a single point of failure.

ATM Switch Processor (ASP) module (Catalyst 5500 only)

: The ASP module has a field-replaceable feature card and a 100-MHz MIPS R4600 processor running Cisco IOS software. The ASP supports a wide range of port adapter modules for a variety of ATM interfaces.

Route Switch Module (RSM)

: Each RSM delivers integrated inter-VLAN routing on the backplane of the switch, improving network traffic patterns. The WS-5302 route switch module, the latest member of the Catalyst 5000 series of line modules, provides the performance, scalability, and sophisticated multiprotocol capabilities of Cisco IOS software integrated into the award-winning Catalyst 5000 switch series.

This variety of interface modules offers the flexibility to accommodate today's dynamic network topologies and the scalability to meet bandwidth, speed, and application advancements today and in the future.

Catalyst 5000 Route Switch Module

The WS-X5302 route switch module, the latest member of the Catalyst 5000 series of line modules, provides the performance, scalability, and sophisticated multiprotocol capabilities of Cisco IOS software integrated into the award-winning Catalyst 5000 switch series. With the introduction of the route switch module, the Catalyst 5000 becomes the first truly multiprotocol, multilayer switch available today, and allows network managers the option to deploy cost-effective distributed Layer 3 services from the wiring closet to the data center. The route switch module provides high-performance, multilayer switching and routing services between switched VLANs, emulated LANs within an ATM fabric, or across mixed media via an optional VIP and port adapters.

Multiprotocol Switching with Cisco IOS Software

The Cisco Catalyst 5000 series route switch module builds on the Route Switch Processor (RSP) featured in Cisco's premier multiprotocol routing platform, the Cisco 7500. It combines Cisco Systems proven software technology with the exceptional performance features of the Catalyst 5000 series of LAN switches to meet the requirements of today's mission-critical networks. The route switch module delivers the full suite of Cisco IOS software services, which includes the widest set of protocols available on any multilayer switch:

IP--Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Enhanced IGRP, Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP4)
IPX--RIP, SAPs, NetWare Link Services Protocol (NLSP), Enhanced IGRP
AppleTalk
DECnet
VINES
Xerox Network Systems (XNS)
Systems Network Architecture (SNA)
Multimedia services--Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP)
Security Services--access lists, encryption, Lock and Key
Class of Service (CoS)--RSVP, Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), Random Early Detection (RED)

The Catalyst 5000 series route switch module offers multiple software feature sets and feature licenses, which allow the selection of a package that best meets the user's network needs. Network managers can select from multiple feature sets, which can be enhanced with additional feature licenses. If requirements change in the future, an easy software change can be made to upgrade to a higher-level feature set or add another feature license. Feature licenses include encryption, network address translation (NAT), and interdomain routing.

Configuration Guidelines

This section provides guidelines for configuring the Catalyst 5500 carrier modules and port adapters for the ATM switch processor module (ASP).

The amount of DRAM required for a Catalyst 5500 configured with an ASP module is a function of the number of active physical and logical ports (VP tunnels) and the expected number of active switched virtual circuits (SVCs) through the switch. For DRAM requirement guidelines, see"Configuration Guidelines" in the "Cisco LightStream 1010" chapter.

The base chassis does not ship with any carrier modules (CAMs); these must be ordered separately. They can be ordered at the same time as the chassis if you want to have them installed in the factory. Because each CAM can support up to two port adapter modules (PAMs) the minimum number of CAMs required varies with the number of supported PAMs (as shown in Table 11-4 in the "Cisco LightStream 1010" chapter).

Note CAMs ordered as spares will be shipped with two PAM slot covers. CAMs installed in the factory will ship with PAM slot covers for any slots not occupied by PAMs.

Port adapter modules must be ordered separately. They can be ordered at the same time as the chassis if you want to have them installed in the factory. Note, however, that an appropriate number of CAMs should be ordered at the same time as the PAMs when all components are ordered with a switch chassis. There are no slot dependencies for PAMs--these can be plugged into any available PAM slot on any CAM. Table 8-5 lists product numbers for the Catalyst 5000 Series Switching Modules.
