The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter contains the following sections:
The Cisco VSG software is provided with the other virtual service blade (VSB) software in the Cisco Cloud Service Platform bootflash: repository directory. The Cisco Cloud Service Platform has up to six virtual service blades (VSBs) on which you can choose to place a Cisco VSG, VSM, or Network Analysis Module (NAM).
Caution |
Do not change the management VLAN on a VSB. Because the management VLAN is inherited from the Cisco Cloud Service Platform, any changes to the management VLAN are applied to both the Cisco Cloud Service Platform and all of its hosted VSBs. |
You can install the Cisco VSG on a Cisco Cloud Service Platform as a virtual service blade (VSB).
1. switch# configure terminal
2. (config)# virtual-service-blade name
3. (config-vsb-config)# description description
4. (config-vsb-config)# virtual-service-blade-type [name name | new iso file name]
5. (config-vsb-config)# interface name vlan vlanid
6. Repeat Step 7 to apply additional interfaces
7. (config-vsb-config)# enable [primary | secondary]
8. (config-vsb-config)# show virtual-service-blade name name
9. (Optional) (config-vsb-config)# copy running-config startup-config
This example shows how to configure a Cisco Cloud Service Platform appliance VSB as a Cisco VSG:
