The Application Assurance Integrated Services Adapter (AA ISA) is a resource adapter, which means that there are no external interface ports on the AA ISA itself. Similarly, ESAs only do processing functions for traffic on the ESA interconnect ports to the SR system. Traffic on the SR system is forwarded to ISAs or ESA from any other IOMs on a system in which the AA ISA or ESA is installed, with a divert mechanism used to switch traffic internally to the AA ISA or ESA-VM.
See the SR OS R22.x.Rx Software Release Notes for information about the ESA platform support.
Table: AA system support describes Application Assurance support on the 7750 SR and 7450 ESS.
