Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100 Release Notes

This document describes the features, limitations, and caveats for the Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100, Release 1.0.

Information About Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100

Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100 (Cisco CSP 2100) is a software and hardware platform for data center network functions virtualization. This open kernel virtual machine (KVM) platform, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.0 as the base operating system, is designed to host networking virtual services.

Cisco CSP 2100 also supports services from other third-party vendors, including application firewalls, application delivery controllers, and value-added mobility services. Cisco CSP 2100 provides REST APIs, a graphical user interface, and a command-line interface for creating and managing the virtual machine (VM) lifecycle.

Supported Cisco Networking Services

Cisco CSP 2100 supports the following Cisco networking services:

  • Cisco Virtual Supervisor Module (VSM) for Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch deployments (VMware vSphere, KVM, and Microsoft Hyper-V).

  • Cisco Virtual Security Gateway (VSG) for Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch deployments.

  • Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR) 1000V Series.

  • Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv), supports QCOW image only.

  • Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager (DCNM).

  • Cisco Virtual Network Analysis Module (vNAM).

Deploying a Cisco VSM Service in an HA Pair on Cisco Nexus 1000V for VMware vSphere, Release 5.2(1)SV3(1.3) or Earlier Releases

To deploy a Cisco VSM service (VSM) in an HA pair on Cisco Nexus 1000V for VMware vSphere, Release 5.2(1)SV3(1.3) or earlier releases, complete the following steps:

Procedure
    Step 1   Deploy two different VSMs as standalone. Both VSMs should have the same domain ID and IP address.
    Step 2   Load the boot variables on both VSMs and save the running configuration using the copy run start command.
    Step 3   Change the redundancy role for both VSMs. Assign the primary role to one VSM and the secondary role to the other VSM.
    Step 4   Reload the secondary VSM. The secondary VSM reloads in standby mode, creating an HA pair with the primary VSM.
