Solved: Re: CSM clients on vlans

rpalacio · ‎10-30-2003

i have 6500 with 8 vlans..now iam going to implement a CSM with remote clients as well as all the local users on my 8 vlans. My questions are;

1. do i have to configure all vlans as clients?

2. is the VLAN where my CSM client is configured, be my only gateway?

thx a lot

HI,

regarding 1)

no normaly u have 1 client vlan and x server vlans

regarding 2)

this depends on the implementation if you use the brdiged mode the GW is placed in the "client vlan" if you use secure mode you have to take care that a default GW is configured on the CSM server side.

Joerg

there is no restriction or recommendation regarding the number of client vlan or server vlan.

What you have to know is that traffic from client vlan will be dropped if not hitting a vserver (in routed mode).
