Supervisor Engines
The supervisor engines have the following features:
•Data path and control for all network interfaces
•Management functions:
– Interface monitoring
– Environmental status
– SNMP and console/Telnet interface
•Hot-swapping
Note Packets are not forwarded while the module is removed. A system
reboot occurs when a supervisor engine is reinserted.
•The Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS provides 12 nonblocking
10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ-45) ports and 8 1000BASE-X (SFP) ports.
•The Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GE and Supervisor Engine V-10GE provide
2 nonblocking 10GBASE uplink ports.
•The Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GE and Supervisor Engine V-10GE provide
4 1000BASE-X (SFP) ports.
•The Supervisor Engine IV and V support the Catalyst 4500 series NetFlow
Services Card (WS-F4531). NetFlow is integral to the Supervisor Engine
V-10 GE.
To install a supervisor engine, follow the procedure in the “Installing the
Modules” section on page 3-2.
The supervisor engines used in Catalyst 4000 and Catalyst 4500 switches are
shown in Figure 1-1 to Figure 1-8.

Front-Panel Components
The following connectors, LEDs, and buttons are located on the front panel of the
supervisor engine:
•The STATUS LED, which indicates the operating state of the module
•Two Gigabit uplink ports (WS-X4013, WS-X4013+, WS-X4014, and
WS-X4515 supervisor engines only)
•Four SFP Gigabit uplinks ports and 2 10-Gigabit uplink ports on
WS-X4013+10GE and WS-X4016-10GE.
•Eight unmarked switch load indicator LEDs, which provide an approximation
of the current traffic across the backplane
•A console port (DB-25 for the WS-X4012; RJ-45 for the WS-X4013,
WS-X4013+, WS-X4013+ TS, WS-X4013+10GE, WS-X4014, WS-X4515,
WS-X4516, and WS-X4516-10GE supervisor engines)
•An Ethernet management port (RJ-45)
•A link status LED, which provides status for the management port
(10BASE-T on the WS-X4012 and 10/100BASE-T on the WS-X4013,
WS-X4013+, WS-X4013+ TS, WS-X4013+10GE, WS-X4014, WS-X4515,

Ethernet Management Port
The WS-X4012 supervisor engine has a 10BASE-T Ethernet management port.
The WS-X4516-10GE and WS-X4013+10GE supervisor engine modules have a
10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet management port.The other supervisor engine
modules have a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet management port. Supervisor engines
use an RJ-45 connector on the front panel with a link status LED. For the location
of the port, see Figure 1-1 (WS-X4012), Figure 1-2 (WS-X4013), Figure 1-3
(WS-X4013+), Figure 1-4 (WS-X4013+TS), Figure 1-5 (WS-X4013+10GE),
Figure 1-6 (WS-X4014), Figure 1-7 (WS-X4515), Figure 1-8 (WS-X4516), or
Figure 1-9 (WS-X4516-10GE).
TCP/IP-based management services available through inband access also are
provided through this port (Telnet and SNMP). This management port also
supports image download.
Note The 10BASE-T and 10/100BASE-T Ethernet management ports are for network
management only. These ports do not support network switching.
Console Port
The console port allows you to perform the following functions:
•Configure the switch from the CLI
•Monitor network statistics and errors
•Configure SNMP agent parameters
•Download software updates to the switch or distribute software images
residing in Flash memory to attached devices
The Catalyst 4003 console port is a DCE DB-25 receptacle, which supports a
DCE EIA/TIA-232 interface. The console port is an RJ-45 receptacle on the
Catalyst 4006, 4503, 4506, and 4507.
Note EIA/TIA-232 was known as recommended standard RS-232 before its acceptance
as a standard by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and
Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
