Content Switching Module

This chapter describes the Content Switching Module (WS-X6066-SLB-APC).

The Content Switching Module provides high-performance sessions between network devices and a server farm (a group of network servers) based on Layer 4 through Layer 7 information packets. (See Figure 10-1.) The module allows you to represent a group of servers (real servers) as a single-server instance (virtual server), balance the traffic to the servers, and limit traffic to individual servers.

Note Specific combinations of supervisor engines and modules may not be supported in your chassis. Refer to the release notes of the software version running on your system for specific information on modules and supervisor engine combinations that are not supported.
