At a Glance
The Versa Cloud Services Gateway (CSG) 2500 appliances deliver carrier-grade reliability, high performance, and high
compute capacity for enterprise-grade routing, SD-WAN, next-generation security, and uCPE scenarios. They are
designed for WAN edge deployments in large regional offices, campus sites, or data centers that require advanced
secure SD-WAN along with a comprehensive advanced application, cloud-intelligent SD-WAN, and SASE services on
premises.
The CSG2500 appliances run Versa Operating System
WAN, multitenancy, and analytics in a single operating system and supports Versa Networks management and control
software including Versa Director and Versa Analytics. Versa Director supports configuration, monitoring, and
provisioning of Versa CSG appliances, and Versa Analytics provides device, network, and security analytics for the
Versa CSG appliances. Versa CSG appliances enable secure, scalable, and reliable enterprise-wide networking.
The CSG2500 appliances come with LAN and WAN ports, including eight RJ45 based 1-Gigabit Ethernet and eight
SFP+ based 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are available as SFP+ 10-Gigabit or
SPF+ 1-Gigabit fiber modules, which provide more connectivity options. You can configure any of these ports as LAN or
WAN ports even though CSG2500 interfaces show LAN, WAN, and port number markings.
CSG2500 appliances provide the following features:
• Management Ethernet ports:
◦ One RJ45 1-Gigabit Ethernet port
◦ One RJ45 serial console port
◦ One intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) port
◦ Two USB 3.0 management ports
• Field replaceable 1+1 redundant, hot-swappable power supply units (PSUs)
• Three field replaceable 2+1 fans for cooling
• Rack-mountable in a 19-inch rack
• Eight 1G/10G SFP/SFP+ Ethernet ports for LAN/WAN interfaces
• Eight 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports for LAN/WAN interfaces
