About Catalyst 6500 Series

The Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series platform is widely deployed as the premier switch platform of choice for small
enterprise networks, large multinational companies, and transcontinental service providers. One of the emerging
technologies gaining particular interest across this customer set is the integration of voice across a traditional data
network. Many questions arise when considering implementing voice applications over a Cisco Catalyst 6500-based
network, including: How can I differentiate my voice traffic from data traffic from a quality-of-service (QoS)
perspective? Can I easily provision the network for voice? How can I monitor and troubleshoot voice problems?
How can I protect my traffic so that untrusted sources cannot listen to my voice calls?
