How does the catalyst 6500/6000 use the CEF forwarding mechanism?
The Catalyst 6500/6000 with Supervisor Engine 720 uses a hardware-based CEF forwarding mechanism that is implemented on the SP. CEF mainly uses two tables to store the information necessary for routing: CEF uses a FIB in order to make IP destination prefix-based switching decisions.
What is the use of Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)?
Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is used to perform unicast routing on the Supervisor Engine 720. This document only concerns IP routing on the Catalyst 6500/6000 series switches with Supervisor Engine 720, PFC3, MSFC3. This document is not valid for a Catalyst 6500/6000 with Supervisor Engine 1 or 1A, or for the Multilayer Switch Module (MSM).
