System Requirements

Before you install the CSM in the Catalyst 6500 series switch, make sure that the switch meets the hardware and software requirements listed in this section.

Caution You can use the Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC), which is internal to the Catalyst 6500 series switch, to route traffic on either the client side or the server side of the CSM, but not both simultaneously (unless policy-based routing is used).

Memory Requirements

The CSM memory is not configurable.

CSM software release 4.1(2) requires Cisco IOS software Release 12.1(8a)EX or higher. However, the features new to CSM release 4.1(2) are available only with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(19) E and Catalyst operating system software release 7.6 and higher.
