CSS11501-3 VIPs

[rfv133]

Hello,

I have just two questions regarding CSS11501-3.

1. I find in the 'CSS Redundancy Guide' that it is possible to configure up to 255 VRs per VLAN.

If I understood it correctly, then I can assign 255 VIPs(content rules) to a GigE interface (circuit) and

then balance incoming traffic across services on the FE ports.Is it correct?

2. How many Connections per second can process CSS11501 and CSS11503 ? (I will balance huge amount of small HTTP packets).

Thanks in advance

1. you can have multiple vip per virtual router.

So you're not limited to 255 vips.

In terms of design it is indeed good practice to have a gig link to the internet and then FE link to the servers.

2. - check the following website for performance testing.

The CSS has a distributed architecture.

The more module you put in, the more connection/sec you can handle.

Gilles.
