Course Description
The Content Services Switch 11000 Series Operation and Configuration (CSS) class provides an intensive hands-on training experience with Cisco's
CSS 11000 series content services switches. The CSS products, which were part of Cisco's FY2000 acquisition of Arrowpoint Communications, provide feature-rich layer 3, layer 4, and
layer 5-7 load balancing across one or multiple distributed sites. With its patented content switching technology, the CSS switches can be used to create highly available web sites,
direct users to the closest of several distributed mirrored web sites, protect the site from Denial-of-Service attacks, and improve the overall user experience. Lost shopping carts
become a thing of the past with CSS features for ensuring users are "stuck" to the same server during the entire transaction, when needed.
Prerequisites
A basic understanding of TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS, and IP routing; including RIP, OSPF, and static routes are required.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Describe the need for Content Switching for building highly available server farms
- Determine the appropriate model of CSS needed for a particular design
- Operate and maintain the software and hardware of the CSS
- Configure and describe the CSS features for load balancing across multiple servers
- Configure and describe the CSS features for maintaining a client's relationship with a single server amongst many in a server farm, to avoid such pitfalls as lost shopping carts ("stickiness")
- Configure and monitor security features, such as Denial-of-Service prevention and monitoring, and Access Control Lists.
- Configure and describe CSS features to perform geographic load balancing across multiple mirrored sites using DNS functions
- Configure and describe CSS features for geographic balancing that considers the proximity of the client when choosing the mirrored site to balancing that client's traffic
to Design, configure, and support network topologies which use multiple CSS's as standby switches, waiting to take over all functions if the primary CSS fails (active-passive redundancy)
- Design, configure, and support network topologies which use multiple CSS's as concurrently active, but being ready to take over functions for another CSS (active-active redundancy)
- Describe and configure the various types of caching methods
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for technical audiences involved in the installation, configuration and maintenance of Cisco's CSS 11000 series products.
