CSS 11800 Product Description
The CSS 11800 is a 15-slot modular switching chassis with a high speed
switching fabric. The CSS 11800 offers LAN connectivity and scalable switch
capacity. Designed for larger, mission-critical Web sites, the CSS 11800 provides
20 Gbps of switching bandwidth and high port density LAN ports interfaces. The
CSS 11800 CSS is a Carrier Class platform with high performance and scalability
and no single point of failure. In case of a disk failure, traffic is still passed in and
out of the CSS.
The CSS 11800 configuration provides:
• 20 Gbps of switching bandwidth (with support for an optional redundant
20-Gbps switch fabric)
• 128 MB Switch Control Module (SCM), model CSS8-SCM (with support for
an optional passive SCM)
• 10-Gbps Switch Fabric Module 2 (SFM2), model CSS8-SFM2 (with support
for an optional passive SCM2)
• Hard drive-based Internal Disk Module (IDM), model CSS8-IDM-MEM-HD,
for logging and off-line system files
