A client has a number of ethernet connected sites operating at lines speeds of between 2 and 10mb/s. Does Cisco provide a blade for a 6509 chassis that provides true layer 3 routing? The physical ports would be
You seem to be requiring multilayer switching capability for the 6500 series switches. Take a look at

The 6500 has to run in IOS native mode in order to have routed interfaces.
AFAIK all ports on a native mode switch are routed ports by default.
Layer 2 switching on a port is enabled with the "switchport" command.
Ports are returned to being routed ports with the use of "no switchport" command.
Layer 3 isnt enough. I'm after layer 3 routed interfaces that can do BGP and traffic shaping. Standard 6500 10/100 interfaces only allow for traffic policing.
If the "lan" type interfaces don't have the features you want, take a look at the SIP modules. That's the "carrier" with various submodule type.
The 6500 supports BGP.
Most of the 6500 modules only support traffic policing.
A few WAN modules support traffic shaping.
I found a method that appears to do what i need. Sure enough the
10/100 blades in a 6500 are layer 2 devices that use a switch matrix. As such they dont support traffic shaping. However the MSFC does. If i assign a vlan to a given port and have the MSFC shape the vlan, then i effectively get what i am seeking. The port config would look something like:interface FastEthernet4/1.1 description 2M link to site encapsulation dot1Q 9 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.252 traffic rate 2000000
I've only used modular QoS with policing on 6500 (shaping requires a FlexWAN card, I thought).
What kind of token bucket does the "traffic rate" use?
