The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series with Cisco IOS Software Modularity boosts operational
efficiency and minimizes downtime through evolutionary software infrastructure
advancements. By enabling modular Cisco IOS subsystems to run in independent
processes, this innovation:
Minimizes unplanned downtime through self-healing processes
Simplifies software changes through subsystem In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU)
Enables process-level, automated policy control by integrating Embedded Event
Manager (EEM).
Integrated High-Performance Network Security and Management
Integrated gigabit-per-second services modules, deployed where external devices would not be
feasible, simplify network management and reduce TCO. These include:
●
Gigabit Firewall: Provides access protection
●
High-Performance Intrusion Detection System (IDS): Provides intrusion detection
protection
●
Gigabit Network Analysis Module: Provides a more manageable infrastructure and full
Remote Monitoring (RMON) support
●
High-Performance SSL: Provides high-performance, secure e-commerce traffic
termination
●
Gigabit VPN and Standards-Based IP Security (IPSec): Support lower-cost Internet and
intra-campus connections
Content- and Application-Aware Layers 2 Through 7 Switching Services
●
An integrated content switching module (CSM) brings high-performance, feature-rich server
and firewall load balancing to the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series, helping to ensure a safer and
more manageable infrastructure with unprecedented control
●
Integrated multi-gigabit SSL acceleration, combined with a CSM, provides a high-
performance e-commerce solution
●
Integrated multi-gigabit firewall and CSMs provide a secure, high-performance, data
center solution
●
Software features such as Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) enhance
network management and control of bandwidth utilization
Scalable Performance
