WS‑X45‑SUP7‑E is the high-performance supervisor engine for Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series chassis.
Powered by Cisco IOS XE, it unlocks advanced features such as non‑blocking 48 Gbps per slot, Flexible NetFlow, TrustSec, UPOE, NSF/SSO, and rapid In‑Service Software Upgrade (ISSU).
Designed for enterprise distribution or aggregation layers, it offers exceptional scalability, multilayer forwarding, resliency, and modern programmability.
It is backward compatible with classic 4500 line cards, although full slot bandwidth requires E‑Series modules.
