-----Original Message----- From: neil K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 5:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Catalyst 6500 Architecture [7:74460] Folks, The Catalyst 6500 uses a Shared bus Architecture and to increase the Backplane capacity you have to have Switch fabric module (SFM) with fabric Enabled modules to make it work. Is there a vendor which has a better architecture or a better solution.
