  • Page 4: Front Panel Description

    When the CSM powers up, it initializes various hardware components and communicates with the supervisor engine. The Status LED on the CSM shows the dialog with the supervisor engine and the results of the initialization. For more information on the supervisor engine LEDs, refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Module Note Installation Guide.

  • Page 5: Operation Mode

    A client sends a request that arrives on one of the module’s VIP addresses. The CSM forwards this request to a server that can satisfy the request. The server then forwards the response to the CSM. The CSM forwards the response to the client. Catalyst 6000 Family Content Switching Module Installation and Configuration Note 78-11631-02 Rev. A0...

  • Page 9: System Requirements

    You cannot run Cisco IOS server load-balancing software on the same switch as the CSM. Caution You can use the MSFC, internal to the Catalyst 6000 family switch, to route traffic on either the client Caution side or the server side of the CSM, but not both simultaneously.

  • Page 10: Hardware Supported

    5 to 95 percent (noncondensing). Power Requirements You can place the CSM in any slot in the Catalyst 6000 family chassis except for the slots occupied by the supervisor engine and the standby supervisor engine. The CSM operates on power supplied by the chassis.

  • Page 11: Required Tools

    Required Tools This section describes the tools and requirements you need to install the CSM. Before installing the CSM, you must install the Catalyst 6000 family switch chassis and at least one Note supervisor engine. For information on installing the switch chassis, refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Installation Guide.

  • Page 15: Verifying The Installation

    This completes the CSM installation procedure. Verifying the Installation When you install the CSM into the Catalyst 6000 family switch, the module goes through a boot sequence that requires no intervention. At the successful conclusion of the boot sequence, the green status LED will illuminate and remain on.

  • Page 16: Upgrading To A New Software Release

    When upgrading to a new software release, you must upgrade the CSM image before upgrading the Note Cisco IOS image. Failure to do so will cause the supervisor engine to not recognize the CSM. In this case, you would have to downgrade the Cisco IOS image, upgrade the CSM image, and then upgrade the Cisco IOS image.
  • Page 17 You must enter the exit command to terminate sessions with the CSM being upgraded. If you do not Caution terminate the session and you remove the CSM from the Catalyst 6000 family chassis, you cannot issue configuration commands to the CSM unless you press Ctrl + ^, enter x, and type the disconnect command at the prompt.
