Configuring the Content Switching Module
Configuring Client-Side VLANs
To configure client-side VLANs, perform this task:
Caution You cannot use VLAN 1 as a client-side or server-side VLAN for the CSM.
This example shows how to configure the CSM for client-side VLANs:
Router(config)# ip slb vlan 130 client
Router(config-slb-vlan-client)# ip addr 123.44.50.6 255.255.255.0
Router(config-slb-vlan-client)# gateway 123.44.50.1
Router(config-slb-vlan-client)# exit
Router# show ip slb VLAN
Configuring Server-Side VLANs
To configure server-side VLANs, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# ip slb vlan vlanid client
Configure the client-side VLANs and enter the
client VLAN mode
1
.
1. Enter the exit command to leave a mode or submode. Enter the end command to return to the menu’s top level.
Step 2
Router(config-slb-vlan-client)# ip
ip-address netmask
Configure an IP address to the CSM used by probes
and ARP requests on this particular VLAN
2
.
2. The no form of this command restores the defaults.
Step 3
Router(config-slb-vlan-client)# gateway
ip-address
Configure the gateway IP address. Enter this
command only in the client submode.
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# ip slb vlan vlanid server
Configure the server-side VLANs and enter the
server VLAN mode
1
.
1. Enter the exit command to leave a mode or submode. Enter the end command to return to the menu’s top level.
Step 2
Router(config-slb-vlan-server)# route
ip-address netmask gateway gw-ip-address
Configure a static route to reach the real servers
in case they are more than one Layer 3 hop away
from the CSM.
Step 3
Router(config-slb-vlan-server)# alias
ip-address netmask
Optionally, you can configure multiple IP
addresses to the CSM to place the module in a
different IP network than real servers without
using a router. Use this command only in the
server submode.
Step 4
Router(config-slb-vlan-server)# ip ip-address
netmask
Configure an IP address for the server VLAN
2
.
2. The no form of this command restores the defaults.
Step 5
Router # show ip slb vlan
Display the client-side and server-side VLAN
configurations.
