The WS-SVC-SSL-1-K9 is the Cisco Catalyst 6500 SSL Services Module, an integrated service module for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series Internet Routers. It takes over the processor-intensive work of securing traffic with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
With the module in place, a web site can support more secure connections, and the operational complexity of high-performance web server farms drops. User data is encrypted on its way to the web servers, giving privacy for the traffic.
When two Catalyst 6500 units run a redundant configuration, the module keeps SSL sessions going if hardware fails. It sits with the Network Analysis Module and Firewall Services Module in the Catalyst 6500 security service modules.
Catalyst 6500 chassis such as the WS-C6509-E enhanced 9-slot chassis are in the same family, and further Catalyst 6500 parts are in Cisco modules and power supplies.
