The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter describes how to use the CSM and CSM-S commands and contains the following sections:
•Using the CSM and CSM-S Commands
Note Except where specifically differentiated, the term "Content Switching Module" and its acronym "CSM" includes both the Content Switching Module and the Content Switching Module with SSL.
The term "Content Switching Module with SSL" and its acronym "CSM-S" are used only where the information presented is specific to the CSMS.
The term SSL daughter card an SSL termination dauthter card for the CSM that accelerates Secure Socket Layer (SSL) transactions.
This section provides a brief introduction to using commands and where to go for more information on configuring and using your CSM or CSM-S.
You will use these commands for basic tasks:
With the command-line interface (CLI), you can do the following tasks:
•Check the syntax before entering a command.
Enter a command and press the ? key to view a quick summary, or precede a command with the help command (help aaa, for example).
•Abbreviate commands.
You can use the config t command to start configuration mode, the write t command statement to list the configuration, and the write m commmand to write to Flash memory. In most commands, the show command can be abbreviated as sh. This feature is called command completion.
•Review possible port and protocol numbers at the following Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) websites:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers
•Create your configuration in a text editor, and then cut and paste it into the configuration.
You can paste in a line at a time or the whole configuration. Always check your configuration after pasting large blocks of text to be sure that all of the text was copied.
For information about how to build your CSM and CSM-S configuration, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Content Switching Module Installation and Configuration Note and Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Content Switching Module with SSL Installation and Configuration Note at the following URL:
The CSM and CSM-S contain a command set based on Cisco IOS technologies and provides configurable command privilege modes based on the following command modes:
Note When using these modules on a switch running the Catalyst operating system and Cisco IOS, you must session to the Mutilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC) for the router prompt.
•Unprivileged mode
The unprivileged mode allows you to view CSM settings. The unprivileged mode prompt appears as follows when you first access the CSM:
Router>
•Privileged mode
Any unprivileged mode command will work in privileged mode. Use the enable command to start the privileged mode from the unprivileged mode as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
Router
The # prompt is displayed.
Use the exit or end commands to exit privileged mode and return to unprivileged mode as follows:
Router# exit
Logoff
Type help or '?' for a list of available commands.
Router>
Use the disable command to exit privileged mode and return to unprivileged mode as follows:
Router# disable
Router>
•Configuration mode
The configuration mode allows you to change the configuration. All privileged, unprivileged, and configuration commands are available in this mode. Use the configure terminal command to start the configuration mode as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#
Use the exit or end commands to exit configuration mode and return to privileged mode as follows:
Router(config)# end
Router#
Use the disable command to exit configuration mode and return to unprivileged mode as follows:
Router(config)# disable
Router>
•Submodes
When you are in a submode, the prompt changes to:
Router(config-submode_name)#
Regular expressions used in commands are based on the UNIX filename specification. You will use regular expressions in these commands:
•match protocol http cookie (cookie map submode), page 2-23
•match protocol http header (header map submode), page 2-28
•match protocol http url (URL map submode), page 2-32
