 Content Services Switch and

Cisco

Software Release 7.10

The Cisco CSS 11500 Series Content

Services Switch is a compact, modular

platform that delivers rich Layer 4–7

traffic management services for

e-business applications.

The Cisco CSS 11500 Series now includes

three models:

• The new, one-rack-unit,

fixed-configuration Cisco CSS 11501

• The two-rack-unit, three-slot

Cisco CSS 11503

• The five-rack-unit, six-slot

Cisco CSS 11506

The Cisco CSS 11501 is appropriate for

small data-center applications, supporting

eight 10/100 Ethernet ports and one

Gigabit Ethernet port though an optional

small-form-factor, pluggable gigabit

interface converter (SFP GBIC).

The Cisco CSS 11503 and 11506 are

designed for medium-sized and large data

centers. The Cisco CSS 11503 offers

integrated Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

termination, two to six Gigabit Ethernet

ports, modularity, and up to three times the

performance of the Cisco CSS 11501. The

Cisco CSS 11506 offers all the functionality

of the Cisco CSS 11503 plus three

additional slots, redundant power, switch

fabrics, and switch control.

Cisco WebNS Software Release 7.10 runs

on all models in the Cisco CSS 11500

Series. The Cisco CSS 11800, 11150, and

11050 are currently supported in

Cisco WebNS Software Release 5.00.

Cisco WebNS Software Release 7.10

supports all the features of Cisco WebNS

Software Release 5.20; some features have

been adapted for the Cisco CSS 11501.

Although the Cisco CSS 11503 and 11506

support a module for SSL termination, the

Cisco CSS 11501 does not support

integrated SSL termination (not even in

software alone) and is not upgradeable.

Two ports are recommended or required for

some Cisco WebNS features, such as

Adaptive Session Redundancy (stateful

failover) and port mirroring. Because the

Cisco CSS 11501 has a single Gigabit

Ethernet port, these features are supported

only on the Fast Ethernet ports on the

Cisco CSS 11501.

Cisco WebNS Software Release 7.10

includes the standard and enhanced feature

sets, and all three Cisco CSS 11500 Series

models run both feature sets.
