Changing Modes

You can change the CSM operating mode from CSM mode to RP mode or RP mode to CSM mode. The
next sections provide examples of how to change the modes.

CSM Mode to RP Mode

This example shows how to change from CSM mode to RP mode. This example is typical of a migration
from CSM 1.x to 2.1 or later releases and does not require a module reset.
Cat6k# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Cat6k(config)# ip slb mode ?
csm
rp
Cat6k(config)# ip slb mode rp
% The current SLB mode is CSM-SLB.
% You are selecting RP-SLB mode.
% All configuration for CSM-SLB will be moved to module submode.
% Confirm switch to RP-SLB mode? [no]: yes
% Enter slot number for CSM module configuration, 0 for none [5]: 5
% Please save the configuration.
