WS-C4507RES6L-96V+ Cisco 4500 Switch

Identify the original 4507R-E bundle

WS-C4507RES6L-96V+ is a Cisco Catalyst 4500E bundle combining a 4507R-E chassis, two WS-X4648-RJ45V+E line cards and Supervisor 6L-E. Cisco lists this exact order in its chassis retirement notice. The original R-E chassis must not be confused with the later R+E replacement.

Check the minus and plus positions in the order code

Cisco names WS-C4507RES6L+96V+ as the replacement bundle. Its 4507R+E chassis provides 48 Gbps per slot, while the original R-E platform provides 24 Gbps per slot. The similar ordering strings do not make the chassis interchangeable descriptions; request photographs of the chassis and component labels before accepting a substitution.

Use the retirement dates in procurement planning

The exact bundle appears in the amended EOL8168 notice: end of sale was April 16, 2013 and the published last support milestone was April 30, 2018. Both milestones have passed. The notice separately qualifies active paid contracts through their termination dates; any claim of current manufacturer coverage therefore needs independent entitlement verification.

Match the quotation to the documented components

The cited bundle row identifies the chassis, two access cards and supervisor; it does not establish the power supplies, optical modules or software entitlements in the offered unit. Request an itemized inventory and verify the intended software and power requirements. Published replacement recommendations are historical migration references, so assess present requirements and availability separately.
