Configuring CSM B (Regular Firewall Example)
To create the regular configuration example, perform the following configuration tasks for CSM B:
• Creating VLANs on Switch B, page 11-21
• Configuring VLANs on CSM B, page 11-21
• Configuring Server Farms on CSM B, page 11-22
• Configuring Virtual Servers on CSM B, page 11-23
Note Although the configuration tasks are the same for both CSM A and CSM B, the steps, commands, and
parameters that you enter are different.
Creating VLANs on Switch B
Note This example assumes that the CSMs are in separate Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis. If they are in
the same chassis, all of the VLANs can be created on the same Catalyst 6500 series switch console.
