The Content Switching Module (CSM) can be added to a Catalyst 6500 with a Multilayer Switch Feature
Card (MSFC) that runs Native IOS. This module allows ultimate performance when load balancing traffic to
multiple servers or firewalls.

Typically, direct access to the servers is not available when you use a CSM. However, this configuration uses
individual IP addresses in order to directly reach the servers. This configuration also shows load−balance
connections to servers via the virtual address.
