APPENDIXA
Ethernet Module Daughter Cards
Revised: August 2012
This appendix describes the daughter cards that are available for installation on certain Catalyst 6500 
series Ethernet modules. The daughter cards are divided into two groups: Power over Ethernet (PoE) 
daughter cards and Distributed Forwarding Card (DFC) daughter cards.
PoE Daughter Cards
The PoE daughter cards can be installed either at the factory or in the field on...
