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)
