A Cluster Switch System (CSS), also called a cluster, is a logical switch consisting of two clustering-capable switches. It provides high forwarding performance and high network reliability and scalability,
Cluster Switch System Generation 2 (CSS2) It sets up a CSS by connecting CSS cards on switch fabric units (SFUs). In addition to sharing CSS features with traditional CSS, CSS2 supports 1+N backup of
If either switch fails, the MCLAG continues to function without any interruption, increasing network resiliency and eliminating the delays associated with the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). This
Preface With the gradual increase of the amount of data access and network reliability requirements for enterprise campus networks and datacenter network, a
Point-to-point links are used between each element, and Fortinet recommends using the MCLAG and dual ICLs between the core switches. The following figure shows the fully distributed set of links
If CSS cards have different numbers of cluster cables connected, the cluster bandwidth will decrease nnecting Cluster CablesCSS2 Software configurationConfiguring CSS
Guidelines This operation applies to CSS card clustering and service port clustering. Before combining two standalone switches into a CSS, ensure that the hardware and software of the two switches
To solve these problems, CSS technology is used to virtualize two physical switches into one logical switch, simplifying network deployment and reducing network maintenance costs.
Traditional CSS: consists of two CSS connection modes, namely, clustering using CSS cards on MPUs and clustering using service ports. Cluster Switch System Generation 2 (CSS2): sets up a CSS by
A Cluster Switch System (CSS) is a popular horizontal virtualization technology that consolidates two switches with clustering capabilities into a cohesive logical switch.
Traditional CSS It consists of two CSS connection modes: clustering through CSS cards on MPUs and clustering through service ports. Cluster Switch System Generation 2 (CSS2) It sets up a CSS by
The S12704&S12708&S12712 switches support clustering using Cluster Switching System (CSS) cards. Two types of CSS cards are available: independent CSS cards and CSS cards integrated on the
Based on back-to-back clustering technology, widely used on high-end core routers, the S12700 series employs second-generation switching fabric hardware clustering technology, CSS2, an enhancement
With the gradual increase of the amount of data access and network reliability requirements for enterprise campus networks and datacenter network, a single switch has been unable to meet the
Core—This layer supplies connectivity to security resources such as hardware-accelerated Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) inspection, filtering of communications between segments, access to the
This user manual provides comprehensive instructions for setting up, configuring, and managing Huawei S12700 Agile Switches with CSS2. It details the features, applications, and best practices for utilizing
Design concept and considerations In the core level of the reference architecture, two FortiGate units form a high availability (HA) cluster. They manage a pair of FortiSwitch units that form an MCLAG
The development of CSS technology has progressed through two stages: Traditional CSS: This stage involves two CSS connection modes: clustering utilizing CSS cards on Main Processing Units

The aggregation switches in the two buildings can be connected using cluster cables to set up a CSS. The two aggregation switches then work as if they were one aggregation switch, simplifying the
It consists of two CSS connection modes: clustering through CSS cards on MPUs and clustering through service ports. Cluster Switch System Generation 2 (CSS2) It sets up a CSS by connecting CSS
With the use of a core layer, each aggregation switch only needs 2x100-GbE links, and the core layer is the only place where you need large numbers of 100-GbE ports.
