To save or restore your configurations or to work with advanced configurations, refer to the following sections:

Writing and Restoring Configurations, page 34

Configuration Examples, page 35

Configuring Probes for Health Monitoring, page 46

Configuring Route Health Injection, page 51

Configuring VLANs

The CSM requires configuration for client-side and server-side VLANs when you install the module in a Catalyst 6500 series switch.

Note 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.

The CSM dynamically allocates one client gateway to the active router for a total of two client gateways for an HSRP group. You can configure a maximum of three HSRP groups on the client side of the CSM; fewer if other routers exist on the client-side.

You need to create both a client- and server-side VLAN. (See Figure 8.)
