Configuring the Content Switching Module

Step 6 Enter the show command as described in “Configuring VLANs” section on page 21 to verify the configuration.

Step 7 Make a Telnet connection into the CSM with the session CSM-slot-number0 command.

Step 8 Upgrade the image using the upgrade TFTP-server-IP-addressc6slb-apc.rev-number.bincommand.

Configuring the Content Switching Module

This section describes how to configure load balancing on the CSM. Before you configure the CSM, the switch must meet these prerequisites:

Caution Enter the ip slb mode csm command before you enter any other CSM configuration commands.

The Cisco IOS versions for the switch and the module must match.

Turn off the Cisco IOS-based server load balancing. Enter the ip slb mode and enable the CSM operating mode csm (content switching mode) which disables the rp (router processing mode).

This example shows how to enable the csm mode:

Router(config)# ip slb mode ?

csm SLB in Application Processor Complex board rp SLB in IOS system

Router(config)# ip slb mode csm

You must configure VLANs on the Catalyst 6000 family switch before you configure VLANs for the CSM. VLAN IDs must be the same for the switch and the module. Refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Software Configuration Guide for details.

This example shows how to configure VLANs:

Router>

Router> enable

Router# vlan database

Router(vlan)# vlan 130

VLAN 130 added:

Name: VLAN130

Router(vlan)# vlan 150

VLAN 150 added:

Name: VLAN150

Router(vlan)# exit

You should place physical interfaces that connect to the servers or to the clients in the corresponding VLAN.

This example shows how to configure a physical interface as a Layer 2 interface and assign it to a VLAN:

Router>

Router> enable

Router# config

Router(config)# interface 3/1

 

Router(config-if)#

switchport

 

Router(config-if)#

switchport access vlan 150

 

Router(config-if)#

no shutdown

 

Router(vlan)# exit
