Mode Command Syntax
Before you can enter CSM configuration commands on the switch, you must specify the CSM that you
want to configure. To specify a CSM for configuration, use the module csm slot-number command. The
slot-number value is the chassis slot where the CSM being configured is located.
The module csm command places you in CSM configuration submode. All additional configuration
commands that you enter apply to the CSM installed in the slot you have specified.
Note Unless otherwise specified, all the examples in this publication assume that you have already entered
this command and entered the configuration submode for the CSM you are configuring.
The command syntax for CSM mode and RP mode configuration is identical with these exceptions:
• When configuring in CSM mode, you must prefix each top-level command with ip slb.
• Prompts are different for CSM mode and for RP mode configurations.
To configure a virtual server for a CSM in slot 5, perform this task:
This example shows the complete list of CSM commands in the config-module-csm mode.
