Managing CSS11500 loadbalancers in cluster mode

[adil.nasser3]

Hello All,

This is a newbie question regarding CSS11500 series loadbalancers as I trying to get up to speed with managing them as part of my job.  I noticed that there are a couple of CSS "clustered together" since I see they are managed using a single ip address.

My question is around how to establish a session to each individual device in this cluster, if at all possible?  If is not possible, how do manage the secondary device in this cluster to perform tasks such as copying new software to it, backing it up, etc.?

Hi Adil,

what i understood from "cluster" here is Box-to-box redundancy option in CSS where two CSS boxes share a common circuit IP's. If that is the case then we manage the CSS boxes using out of band mgmt interface available on SCM (can see the config in show run boot).
