lists the environmental requirements for the CSM.
System Requirements
Before you install the CSM i the Catalyst 6500 series switch, make sure that the switch meets the
hardware and software requirements listed in this section.
Caution
You can use the Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC), which is internal to the Catalyst 6500 series
switch, to route traffic on either the client side or the server side of the CSM, but not both simultaneously
(unless policy-based routing is used).
Memory Requirements
The CSM memory is not configurable.
CSM software release 4.1(2) requires Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(8a)EX or higher. However, the
features new to CSM release 4.1(2) are available only with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(19) E and
Catalyst operating system software release 7.6 and higher.
