Understanding Redundancy Support

In order to manage redundant devices, you must first manually configure the SLB 

device and then provide the redundancy information to the Hosting Solution 

Engine. After you pair two devices on the Hosting Solution Engine, it will make 

the same changes performed on one device to its redundant unit. 

Hosting Solution Engine supports CSS box to box, CSS VIP, and CSM 3.x or 

later redundancy.

For details on adding redundant device information, see 

Entering Device 

Credentials, page 4 3

. For details on manually configuring the SLB device, see 

your device documentation on Cisco.com

See the Supported Devices Table for the Hosting Solution Engine

on Cisco.com for 

details.
