* When using the Cisco Catalyst 4000/4500 Supervisor Engine V, 336 ports are supported. The Catalyst 4510R can support up to 384 ports with Catalyst 4500
Series Supervisor Engine V-10GE. When Catalyst 4000/4500 Supervisor Engine V is used in the Catalyst 4510R chassis, slot 10 (Flex-slot) supports a subset of
line cards: 2-port Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) and Access Gateway Module This is because of the switching capacity of the Catalyst 4000/4500 Supervisor
Engine V; not a limitation of Catalyst 4510R chassis. The Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine V-10GE allows slot 10 to accommodate any and all line cards.
** Four 100BASE-FX, multimode fiber (MMF) interfaces are supported through the uplink module using the Cisco Catalyst 32-port, 10/100, RJ-45 line card.
*** Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor II-Plus-TS required for 104 1000BASE-X ports or 108 10/100/1000 ports.
