This chapter provides information on the Catalyst 5000 series switching system. The information is organized into the following sections:
http://www.cisco.com. For more information, see the chapter "Documentation" at the end of the catalog.
The Catalyst 5000 series is a modular switching system that provides high-density switched Ethernet and Fast Ethernet interfaces for wiring closet and data-center applications. The Catalyst 5000 series system provides virtual LAN networking and optional multilayer switching with Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) software functionality. The modular design allows you to dedicate 10-Mbps Ethernet and 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet connections to existing LAN segments or high-performance workstations and servers using unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), shielded twisted-pair (STP), and fiber-optic cable. The switch architecture includes a single integrated 1.2 gigabits-per-second data switching backbone that supports wire-speed switched Ethernet and Fast Ethernet users across a wide range of backbone interfaces including Fast Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), and ATM.
The five-slot, modular chassis of the Catalyst 5000 series features fault-tolerant power with a dual AC power supply option and a full complement of hot-swappable interface modules. (Hot-swappable means that all system components can be removed, added, or changed without rebooting or taking the system off line.) The five module slots support the required Supervisor Engine and, in the remaining four slots, any of the following interface modules:
The new 12-port 100BaseFX single-mode/multimode fiber switching module provides six single-mode and six multimode fiber connections for connecting switching systems across a campus or across a city.
The ATM LAN Emulation dual PHY module delivers fault tolerance for critical network applications via two unique features:
The Supervisor Engine enables Layer 2 switching and network management. This module contains two Fast Ethernet interfaces to connect to workstations, servers, switches, and routers. The Catalyst 5000 series system can accommodate up to 192 group switched Ethernet interfaces, 96 switched Ethernet interfaces, and up to 50 Fast Ethernet interfaces.
The 10BaseT 48-port group switching Ethernet module provides 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. Each module has four 10BaseT Ethernet segments with groups of 12 users per segment (48 interfaces per module). You can switch each group of 12 ports to any Catalyst 5000 VLAN. The 10BaseT Ethernet switch module supports 24 dedicated segments; each can be assigned to a different VLAN. The 10/100BaseTX module supports auto-negotiation, which sets the appropriate speed and duplex mode (half or full) for the switched connection and adapter interface. 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.
The Catalyst 5000 series system has a number of features that contribute to its superior traffic management capabilities. The switch is fully nonblocking for 10-Mbps Ethernet and is capable of switching over 1 million packets per second. Ethernet to Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or ATM packet latency is less than 10 microseconds. Ethernet to FDDI packet latency is 100 microseconds. The data switching bus supports three priority queues so that you can define priorities on a per-port basis.
The Catalyst 5000 series system supports the formation of workgroups within and between other Catalyst 5000 series switches. One thousand VLANs can be maintained across switching and routing platforms through Fast Ethernet, CDDI/FDDI, and ATM connections. Any Fast Ethernet interface on the Catalyst 5000 series system can be configured as an InterSwitch Link (ISL) to support multiple VLANs. Note that all VLANs support the IEEE 802.1d spanning-tree algorithm for fault-tolerant connections. ATM supports VLANs by emulating the LANs into virtual circuits. FDDI supports 802.10 for multiple VLANs.
The switch can be configured through a command-line interface or a GUI-based management application. The command-line interface can be accessed out-of-band by an ASCII terminal or modem and in-band using Telnet or SNMP commands through any LAN or ATM interface. CiscoWorks for Switched Internetworks network management application can be used to query all Cisco products, including the Catalyst 5000 series system physical view, as well as configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the system. The VlanDirector management application allows you to perform drag-and-drop configuration of your network based on logical user groups and display an enterprise-wide logical view of these groups. The TrafficDirector management application allows you to monitor and troubleshoot networks using standard RMON technology.

The Catalyst 5000 series system has many options. Use the Catalyst 5000 series Configuration Worksheet that follows to help you plan your order or to upgrade an existing system. One blank worksheet is provided, and you can make extra copies as needed.
The worksheet provides a chart to help you calculate maximum configurations. To use the chart, first select your primary interface choice from the left column (10BaseT, 10BaseFL,10/100BaseTX, or 100BaseFX). Then read across to determine configuration options. The bold boxes denote the maximum number of ports available for your primary interface choice.
For example, if you select 10BaseFL in the left column, the chart shows that the system can support a maximum of 48 to a minimum of 12 10BaseFL ports. If you choose the lowest end of the range (12 10BaseFL ports), you can look at the other columns of the same row to see how many of each of the other interface you can add. Notice that you have room left for 72 10BaseT ports, 38 100BaseTX ports, 36 10/100BaseTX ports, 36 100BaseFX ports, 3 ATM ports, or 3 FDDI ports, as follows:
On the other hand, if you choose the highest end of the range (48 10BaseFL ports), you have room left for 0 10BaseT ports, 2 100BaseTX ports, 0 10/100BaseTX ports, 0 100BaseFX ports, 0 ATM ports, or 0 FDDI ports. Note that the number range in the shaded boxes lists the highest number of ports first; this is to clarify the relationship to the number range in the other boxes, which range from low to high. As the number of your primary interface ports increases, the number of available ports on the other interface decreases.
