Cisco Cisco Web Security Appliance S670 Release Notes

Cisco Web 
Security Virtual 
Appliance

Cisco offers the Cisco Web Security appliance as a virtual machine that you can 
host on your own network. 

The virtual appliance requires a separate license for the virtual appliance purchased 
from Cisco and a Cisco UCS Server (Blade or Rack-Mounted) hardware platform 
running VMware ESXi version 4.x. 

The Cisco Content Security Virtual Appliance Installation Guide includes more 
information on the requirements for the virtual appliance.

The new Web Security virtual appliance models and configurations are:

S000V (250 GB disk space, 50 GB cache space, 1 core, 4 GB memory)

S100V (250 GB disk space, 50 GB cache space, 2 cores, 6 GB memory)

S300V (1024 GB disk space, 200 GB cache space, 4 cores, 8 GB memory)

This feature includes the following changes to AsyncOs for Web:

The Web Security virtual appliance license allows you to clone and run 
multiple virtual appliances on your network.

The 

loadlicense

 CLI command for installing the virtual appliance license. 

You can use the same license for multiple virtual appliances.

Feature keys are included as part of the virtual appliance license. The feature 
keys will expire at the same time as the license. Purchasing new feature keys 
will require downloading and installing a new virtual appliance license.

Due to feature keys being included in the virtual appliance license, there are no 
30-day evaluations for AsyncOS features.

You cannot open a Technical Support tunnel before installing the virtual 
appliance license.
