High availability refers to the ability of a system or component to remain operational and provide service to users, even if there are failures or other disruptions. Redundancy refers to the use of multiple components or systems to ensure that a service remains available even if one component fails.
In the case of the 15310-CTX-2500-K9 Cisco CTX2500 Service Module, high availability and redundancy are achieved through several key features:
- Dual power supplies: The module has two power supplies, which ensures that if one fails, the other will take over and keep the system running.
- Dual network interfaces: The module has two network interfaces, which enables it to connect to two different networks. This provides a level of redundancy and ensures that even if one interface fails, the other can still provide access to the network.
- Redundant components: The module is designed with redundant components, such as hard drives and memory, to minimize the risk of single points of failure.
- Load balancing: The module supports load balancing, which helps ensure that network traffic is evenly distributed across multiple components. This helps prevent any single component from becoming overwhelmed and ensures that the system can continue to operate even if one component fails.
Link Aggregation and Load Balancing on the 15310-CTX-2500-K9 Cisco CTX2500 Service Module refers to the process of combining multiple network connections into a single, high-speed data path. This allows the module to increase the bandwidth, reliability, and resiliency of the network. The link aggregation is achieved through Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) or static link aggregation.
Load balancing is the process of distributing network traffic evenly across multiple network links to optimize network utilization, minimize response time, and increase network efficiency. The 15310-CTX-2500-K9 supports multiple load balancing algorithms such as round-robin, weight-based, and IP Hash.
Setting up and installing of Service ModuleSetting up and installing the 15310-CTX-2500-K9 Cisco CTX2500 Service Module involves several steps as follows:
