Configuring CSM A (Regular Firewall Example)

To create the regular configuration example, perform the following configuration tasks for CSM A:
•
•
•
•
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 A
The example, shown in
This example assumes that the CSMs are in separate Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis. If they are in
Note
the same chassis, all of the VLANs can be created on the same Catalyst 6500 series switch console.
To configure VLANs on Switch A, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch-A(config)# vlan
Step 2
Switch-A(vlan)# vlan 100
Step 3
Switch-A(vlan)# vlan 101

Configuring VLANs on CSM A
To configure the two VLANs, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch-A(config)# module csm 5
Step 2
Switch-A(config-module-csm)# vlan 100
client
Step 3
Switch-A(config-slb-vlan-client)# ip
address 100.0.0.25 255.255.255.0
Step 4
Switch-A(config-slb-vlan-client)# gateway
100.0.0.13
Step 5
Switch-A(config-slb-vlan-client)# exit

Figure
Do this step on the switch console of the switch that contains CSM A.
VLAN 100 connects CSM A to the Internet.
VLAN 101 connects CSM A to the insecure side of the firewalls.
11-7, requires that you create two VLANs on Switch A.
Purpose
Enters the VLAN mode
Creates VLAN 100
Creates VLAN 101
Purpose
Enters multiple module configuration mode and
specifies that CSM A is installed in slot 5.
Specifies VLAN 100 as the VLAN that is being
configured, identifies it as a client VLAN, and enters
VLAN configuration mode.
Specifies an IP address and netmask for VLAN 100.
Configures a gateway IP address for the router on the
Internet side of CSM A.
Returns to multiple module configuration mode.
