MN-FXSERIESADM6 Rev 6
Routed Mode Deployment Option
The main configuration screen now allows you to put the FX in either “bridged” or “routed” mode.
In routed mode, policy based routing (PBR) must be set up on the Cisco router to specifically direct
traffic to the FX Series Appliances.
Reliable Multicast Fan-Out
“Multicator” feature is a powerful new content distribution system. This feature allows a user to
upload a file to an FX device via ftp, the file is then reliably multicast to a group of receivers. The
receivers then upload the content to a local ftp server. The Multicator employs the “Content
Distribution Control Protocol” (CDCP) to ensure that only one multicast transmission is in progress.
Base Platform Image ‘3’ Upgrade Kit
The new features of Release 6 require new software packages and a new kernel from previous FX
releases. This upgrade kit will define procedures for updating existing FX appliances from a USB
flash drive.
Management via SSH
The Base Platform Image “3” provides support over SSH and will also allow the Administrative WEB
GUI to function over SSL.
