Chapter 4 Configuring the CSS
Using the Configuration Script
Content rules are hierarchical. That is, if a request for content matches more than
one rule, the characteristics of the most specific rule apply to the flow. The
hierarchy for content rules is shown below. The CSS uses this order of precedence
to process requests for the content, with 1 being the highest match and 8 being the
lowest match.
1. Domain name, IP address, protocol, port, URL
2. IP address, protocol, port, URL
3. IP address, protocol, port
4. IP address, protocol
5. IP address
6. Domain name, protocol, port, URL
7. Protocol, port, URL
8. Protocol, port
Using the Configuration Script
The CSS initiates the configuration script automatically when you log in and it
does not detect an existing startup-config file.
Note If you want to configure the CSS manually, refer to the Content
Services Switch Basic Configuration Guide.
You need to enter the following information as the configuration script completes
itself:
• IP address and subnet mask for circuit VLAN1 (all interfaces are assigned to
VLAN1 by default)
• IP address for the default gateway
• IP addresses for the servers
• Virtual IP address (VIP) for the content rule
