New CSM Feature Set Description
Chapter 1
Description
Includes the XML DTD (document definition
type), the Cisco IOS MIB extensions for the
CSM, and the system object identifier (SYSOB
ID MIB).
Allows a backup at the real server level.
Allows TCP termination for all connections to
the CSM providing SYN attacks.
Provides enhancements for preempt delay, the
forced failover command, Layer 2 MAC
address rewrites, and improved tracking.
Allows for the configuration of the idle and
pending timeouts for server-initiated
connections.
Provides User Datagram Protocol (UDP) socket
and global variable support.
Supports up to 512 server and client VLANs.
Jumbo Frame support has been added to the
CSM software release 3.2 to allow support of
frames of up to 9 KB for Layer 4 load balancing.
Allow you to change the weights of servers.
Allows the CSM to make load balancing
decisions without creating a flow. This feature
is useful when load balancing UDP traffic with
flows that exist for a short time period, such as
DNS.
Allows the CSM to work more efficiently with
upstream gateways regardless of their
redundancy implementation (HSRP, VRRP,
proprietary, etc.)
Allows all connections, both existing and new,
to failover to the secondary firewall in a
redundant pair. This feature works only with
active-active stateful firewall configurations.
Provides the ability to manually add entries to
the CSM ARP table.
The sticky table can be prepopulated with
entries to force certain users to connect to
specific servers.
