Comprehensive suite of virtualization features, including L2/L3 VPN, full MPLS, EVN, VRF-aware applications for NAT Netflow, GRE for v4/v6, L2 extensions with VPLS, and so on to segment different user groups and serve unique security/QoS policy requirements of each of these diverse user groups. - Application visibility and control (AVC)
Supports enhanced application monitoring such as Flexible and Sampled NetFlow and advanced priority queuing capabilities such as Hierarchical QoS. - Smart operations
The Cisco Catalyst 6840-X supports Cisco Catalyst Instant Access, which allows an Instant Access client to act as a remote line card of the Cisco Catalyst 6840-X, as well as Smart Install Director, which provides zero-touch deployment of access switches. - High availability
Two Cisco Catalyst 6840-X series Switches can be combined into a VSS. In addition to high availability VSS, provides ease of operation by providing a single point of management, eliminating the need for First Hop Routing Protocol (FHRP) and removing the reliance on Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for link failure restoration.
The Cisco Catalyst 6840-X series switch is a 2RU fixed backbone switch in the Cisco Catalyst 6800 family. The 6840-X is based on the Cisco Catalyst 6800, with more than 3000 features and maturity of software code.
