Hi, there

Can I put TWO IDSM-2 in a single C6500 Chassis and bunle them together to run in IDS mode, in order to have higher throughtput, and I am reluctant to run IPS mode, thanks.

Hi,

You can use two - in fact Cisco sell a bundle of four in one chassis to get 2-Gbps Performance:

The maximum supported is 8 in one chassis.

Thanks for you replay, Can I bundle TWO ISDM-2 modules in promiscuous mode and utilizing ONE single SPAN session? that documents you mentioned is refer to run in in-line mode which I am reluctant to do in that way. and our server farm traffic is about 300Mbps ~ 400Mbps normally, so ONE ISDM-2 is a little bit shy.
