Security Gateway Modules (SGMs) on Scalable Chassis

Background

The Security Gateway Modules (SGMs) in the Chassis work together as a single, high performance Security Gateway or VSX Gateway. You can add SGMs and it scales the performance of the system. An SGM can be added and removed without losing connections. If an SGM is removed or fails, traffic is distributed to the other active SGMs.

These SGM models are available:

  • SGM400

  • SGM260

  • SGM220

For more information, see the Quantum Scalable Chassis Getting Started Guide and sk93332.
