Configuring FWSM for Catalyst 6509

[v.nastase]

Our company has two Catalyst 6509 equiped everyone with MSFC and FWSM. We need to deploy a network area behind the FWSM (MSFC outside the FWSM) and to connect through dual GB links three Catalyst 3550 EMI running OSPF.

1. FWSM has sufficient capability for routing as is we need to have OSPF routing process to the three Catalyst 3550 EMI ?

2. How can we configure the FWSM as the three Catalyst 3550 EMI have different security policy (defining separately VLANs and allocate to DMZs) ?

Thanks in advance for your help

The FWSM can do everything the PIX firewall can do ...with some additional features like OSPF routing and 100 interface/VLAN support. So I guess it should be able to handle the OSPF processes.
