[c-nsp] Cisco CSM behavior (Content Switching Module for 6500 switch)

[Andriy A. Yerofyeyev]

Hello ,

I just trying to understand can Cisco CSM work as a basic router, eg can
servers from two vlans , configured as SERVER vlans communicate with
each other ?

configuration is fairly basic,

module contentswitchingmodule 7

vlan 604 client
  ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.224
  gateway 192.168.0.254
!
 vlan 606 server
  ip address 10.100.119.250 255.255.255.0

 vlan 607 server
  ip address 10.101.120.250 255.255.255.0

seems to servers from vlan 606 and 607 cannot communicate with each
other. they can ping their gateway (.250) and even ip address of csm
192.168.0.1 but cannot reach each other.

May be I miss something ?

Cisco , however , mention in "Networking with the Content Switching
Module" in section "CSM Inline, MSFC on Client Side"
Server-to-server Layer 3 communications pass through the CSM. This means
 servers CAN communicate through CSM.
