WS‑SVC‑SSL‑CSM‑K9 Specifications

Cisco CSM and SSL Module Bundle for Catalyst 6500 / 7600 Series

Manufacturer: Cisco
Manufacturer Model: WS‑SVC‑SSL‑CSM‑K9
Product Line: Cisco Catalyst 6500 / 7600 Service Modules
Product Series: Content Switching Module (CSM) + SSL Service Module Bundle
Product Type: Interface / Service Module Bundle
Product Name: Cisco CSM & SSL Bundle Module (WS‑SVC‑SSL‑CSM‑K9)

KEY FEATURES:

Bundle includes both the Content Switching Module (CSM) and the SSL Service Module.

Designed for high‑performance load‑balancing, content switching and SSL termination in Catalyst 6500 / 7600 chassis.

Allows any or all ports on the chassis to be enabled for content switching and SSL offload.

Facilitates SSL termination offloading so that web servers are freed from heavy cryptographic load.

Supports session stickiness, SSL session persistence, certificate management, and load‑balanced back‑end server connectivity.

PERFORMANCE:

Concurrent SSL connections: Up to ~500,000 to 1,000,000 (depending on configuration)

Throughput (bulk encrypted traffic): Typically hundreds of Mbps per module; aggregated for chassis may reach ~1.2 Gbps

High capacity for web service environments with encrypted traffic and content switching demands.

ENVIRONMENTAL & RELIABILITY:

Operating Temperature: ~0 °C to ~40 °C (~32 °F to ~104 °F)

Storage Temperature: ~‑20 °C to ~65 °C (~‑4 °F to ~149 °F)

Operating Humidity: ~10% to ~95% non‑condensing

Designed for enterprise / data‑centre use in chassis with redundancy and high availability.

PHYSICAL:

Form Factor: Plug‑in service module bundle for Cisco Catalyst 6500 / 7600 series chassis.

Dimensions & Weight: Dependent on chassis slot.

Slot Requirement: Requires one or more service module slots compatible with CSM/SSL architecture.

Note: Includes both modules: the SSL module and the CSM module.

COMPATIBILITY & NOTES:

Compatible Devices: Cisco Catalyst 6500 and Cisco 7600 Series chassis that support the CSM and SSL modules.

Best suited for deployments where SSL traffic is heavy (e‑commerce, secure portals, etc.), and content switching / load balancing across back‑end servers is required.

For refurbished units: verify that both components (CSM + SSL) are present and functioning; confirm firmware, module compatibility with your chassis, and that slots & licenses are supported.

Certificate management: Centralised certificates on module reduce need for per‑server certificates; this reduces operational cost.
