Hi,
Replacements for the 6500 and more ports than the 4500-X.
6840 is the smallest one, it will be available Q3-Q4 2015
6880-X
Alright, minus the BS, the ports are SFP+ so you can run it to the IA or 3850s.
C6880-X XL tables starts at $46,000
C6880-X-LE Standard tables starts at $34,000
The differences are
Line cards.
C6880-X-LE-16P10G= $19,000 this is for the X-LE Chassis 6880-X-LE
C6880-X-16P10G= $25,000 this is for the X Chassis 6880-X
In case you have noticed, after years of memorizing 3C, 3CXL now it's X-LE, X a mouthful and this causes a lot of client mistakes.
Bundles.
