Make sure network + WCCP still work-

Modify topology to create two VLANS and routes between them (Svc3)-

Make sure network + WCCP + PBR still work-

Modify topology to create two more VLANs

Modify topology to create two more VLANs

and routes between them-

Make sure network + WCCP + PBR + add. VLANs

For redundancy, more configurations needed.-

For troubleshooting, more configurations needed


Service Insertion Architecture on Catalyst 6500

Innovative framework for adding services in the network. Removes dependencies on the physical network topology. Services can be added and removed faster while reducing risks to the network.Scale service according to business demandsServices can be deployed simpler with resiliency

SIA on Catalyst 6500 is EC’ed

with customer evaluations available in 1HCY09FCS in Half Dome Software Release (1HCY10)


Service Insertion Architecture With SIA…

-

Enable SIA Infrastructure / Service-

Configure “Service Path”

on Service Directory-

Service Aware Infrastructure converges around configured service path-

Initiate SIA’ping’

/ SIA’traceroute’

to validate service path
