Overview

Cisco C6880-X Overview

The Cisco C6880-X is a high-end enterprise and service provider core switch designed for large campus and data center deployments. With hardware-based IPv4 and IPv6 routing up to 300Mpps, extensive MPLS and VPLS support, and advanced QoS capabilities, it delivers wire-speed performance for dense 10G environments. Comprehensive security features such as 256K QoS/security ACEs, TrustSec, MACsec, and rich NetFlow telemetry help Asian, European, African, and North American integrators and end users build scalable, segmented, and observable networks.

Product Applications Scenarios

Enterprise Network

High-density 10G and robust Layer 3 features let global enterprises consolidate core and distribution, simplifying designs while cutting operational overhead by up to 30%.

Data Center

Line-rate IPv4/IPv6, jumbo frames, and large table scales support East-West traffic, improving throughput and reducing bottlenecks for private and hybrid data centers.

Service Providers

MPLS, VPLS, and large VRF scale enable metro and aggregation roles, allowing carriers to deliver multi-tenant VPN services while lowering per-subscriber transport cost.
