Have (2) ASA 5520’s at a site, in HA mode, both connecting the external FE port to the router. These 2 FE ports need IP addresses on the same network (and hopefully consecutive), so the site network engineer said that we should not use the on-board Ethernet interfaces on the 2800’s for that, but instead should use HWIC ports to create a VLAN with the 2 router FE ports in it. Of course, we’ll have to route the traffic from that VLAN over to the MLPPP interface. So the question is – which HWIC do we need in order to do that? Does the HWIC-4ESW give you that capability or does it have to be the other one with routed interfaces?
