At a Glance

The Versa Cloud Services Gateway (CSG) 5000 series appliances deliver carrier-grade reliability, high performance, and high computational capacity for enterprise-grade routing, SD-WAN, and next-generation security 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 comprehensive advanced application and cloud-intelligent SD-WAN and SASE services on-premises.

The CSG5000 series appliances enable secure, scalable, and reliable enterprise-wide networking.

CSG5000 series appliances run Versa Operating System™ (VOS™) software, which provides comprehensive integrated security, routing, SD-WAN, multitenancy, NGFW, UTM, and analytics in a single operating system.

Versa Networks management and control software, including Versa Director and Versa Analytics, support CSG5000 series appliances. Versa Director supports configuration, monitoring, and provisioning of CSG5000 series appliances, and Versa Analytics provides device, network, and security analytics. Managed service providers (MSPs) and enterprises of all sizes can deploy CSG5000 series appliances for scalable managed services.

The CSG5000 series appliances come with LAN and WAN ports, including four QSFP28-based 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports and sixteen SFP+/SFP28-based 10-Gigabit/25-Gigabit Ethernet ports. You can configure any of these ports as LAN or WAN ports even though CSG5000 interfaces are marked with LAN, WAN, and port numbers.

For Releases 22.1 and later, CSG5000 series appliances support hardware-based egress class of service (CoS) and shaping for Intel-based adapters, which support data rates up to 100 Gbps interfaces. You can configure four traffic classes at the interface level. The four interface-level traffic classes are scheduled as priority queues. There is only a single queue per traffic class. You can configure each traffic class for committed and maximum bandwidths as a percentage of line rate (that is, the interface transmit, or Tx, rate) or as an absolute rate, in kilobits per second. The traffic classes are scheduled as work conserving; that is, a traffic class can burst to its peak rate to consume any unused bandwidth from other traffic classes that are operating below their committed rate. Note that for hardware-based QoS, only interface-level shaping is supported. No other egress CoS and shaping configurations, including VLAN and adaptive shaping, are supported. For more information, see Configure CoS.
