Which module you select depends primarily on how much performance you need, how many ports are required,

what type of ports are specified, whether redundant switch control is warranted, and whether you will deploy

session redundancy.

The Cisco CSS 11506 requires at least one switch control module and can be configured with a second switch

control module in standby mode. With the required switch control module in one slot, the Cisco CSS 11506 has

five additional slots supporting any combination of I/O, SSL, or session accelerator modules. The Cisco CSS 11503

requires one switch control module and accommodates any two of the other optional modules.

All modules participate in flow setup, but they differ primarily in control functions, performance, SSL capabilities,

and I/O.

Cisco CSS 11500 switch control modules not only govern the whole system, but also contribute to I/O density

and flow performance. The switch control module comes standard with two Gigabit Ethernet ports—supporting

small-form factor, pluggable gigabit interface converters (GBICs)—and has a console port and Ethernet port for

management. The switch control module also features two PCMCIA slots that hold up to two 256-MB Flash

memory disks, up to two 512-MB hard disks, or one of each.

The Cisco CSS 11500 SSL module is the ideal solution for handling the high volumes of SSL transactions that

occupy today’s e-business data centers. The module integrates state-of-the-art SSL processors into the leading

content-switching technology of Cisco WebNS software. In addition to superior price performance, the SSL

module simplifies the management of digital certificates and offers new possibilities in optimizing the

switch-to-server architecture for security and performance.
