THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Introduction

CHAP T E R

Introduction

This chapter provides a basic functional overview of the Cisco Global Site Selector 4490 and describes the GSS hardware, major components, and front and back panel indicators and controls.

This chapter contains the following major sections:

• Introduction

• System Hardware Features

• Hardware Features

The Cisco Global Site Selector 4490 is a networking product that provides site selection services that are critical for disaster recovery deployments involving Internet and intranet data centers. The GSS globally load balances traffic between geographically distributed data centers managed by other server load balancers (SLBs) such as Cisco Content Services Switches and Cisco Content Switching Modules, IOS SLBs, and Cisco LocalDirectors. The GSS is the cornerstone of disaster recovery in such distributed deployments and enables businesses to confidently deploy global Internet and intranet applications with the knowledge that users will be quickly routed to standby data centers should problems occur.

System Hardware Features

The Global Site Selector 4490 is deployed at strategic locations within your network. The GSS performs two major functions when deployed with other SLBs:

• It takes an active role in the domain name server (DNS) infrastructure,

connecting clients to SLBs that support the requested website.

• It continuously monitors the load and availability of SLBs in its network,

selecting the SLB that is most able to answer each client request.

By off-loading DNS resolution from traditional DNS servers, the GSS optimizes global site selection and increases DNS responsiveness. And through its monitoring of load and availability the GSS increases the fault tolerance and scalability of large websites and data centers.

System Hardware Features

The Cisco Global Site Selector 4490 is configured for AC-input power and has a single AC-input power supply. The GSS 4490 comes with an integrated dual-port Ethernet controller. This controller provides an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps networks.

Chapter 1 Introduction

1-2

The GSS 4490 has two 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-TX Ethernet ports with RJ-45 receptacles. Both Ethernet ports support autonegotitate, full-duplex, or half-duplex operation on an Ethernet LAN.
