Catalyst 6000 Family Content Switching Module Installation and Configuration Note
78-11631-02 Rev. A0
Overview
When the client-side and server-side VLANs are on the same subnets, you can configure the CSM in
single subnet (bridge) mode. For more information, see the “Single Subnet (Bridge) Mode
Configuration” section on page 35.
When the client- and server-side VLANs are on different subnets, you can configure the CSM to operate
in a secure (router) mode. For more information, see the “Secure (Router) Mode Configuration” section
on page 37.
You can set up a fault-tolerant configuration in either the secure (router) or single subnet (bridged) mode
using redundant CSMs. For more information, see the “Fault-Tolerant Configuration” section on
page 38. Using multiple VLANs, single subnet (bridge) mode and secure (router) mode can coexist in
the same CSM.
