ACE module routed mode

[k.abillama]

Hi,

I have a scenario where I have a pair of 6509 switches and I need to add an ACE module on both of them. All clients Default gateway are on internal 5580 ASAs so there are no SVI interfaces on the 6509 switches, it's only doing layer 2 switching.

I need to add an ACE module to the above setup, what's the ideal scenario in terms of routing without having to modify and add SVIs on the 6509?

Use 1-arm design+Source NAT. VIPs, NAT address and servers will be in the same subnet.

thx for the quick post, but can you elaborate a bit more, I'm not familiar with ACE deployments! btw I don't have Nat configured in my environment
