Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Application-Oriented
Networking Module Installation Note
Product Number: WS-SVC-AON-1-K9
This publication describes how to install the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series AON Module Services Module
(AON-SM) for the Catalyst 6500 Series switches. The AON module provides the following:
• Enhanced security and reliability that enables reliable message delivery and provides message-level
security in addition to existing network-level security.
• Infrastructure optimization that makes more efficient use of network resources by caching and
compressing at the message level and by integrating application and network quality-of-service
(QoS).
• Business and infrastructure activity monitoring and management that reads into the message,
allowing the AON module to log, audit, and manage application-level business events, and combines
these events with network, server, and storage infrastructure events in a common, policy-driven
management environment.
• Content-based routing and transformation that performs message-based routing and transformation
of protocol, content, data, and message format (for example, XML transformation).
