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.)
