Configuring 6513 in DC ....

[gauravm]

hi,

We are planning to have 6513 at our data center along with the FWSM , IDSM and DFC modules .

i have a question regarding the same :

I plan to use MSFC in front and then fwsm ..

1.in this case does all of my dfc will be like L2 switches and even the inter vlan communication will happen through passing fwsm...

2.If yes, do i need to define the rules on fwsm for every vlans ..

3.considering the msfc is connected to my WAN routers on one end and fwsm on other end ..do i need to connect it to my fwsm outside interface..

4.if yes, where will i connect my firewall router as firewall router has to be connected to outside interface of the firewall.

thanks in advance

Yes, dfc will be like L2 switches and even the inter vlan communication will happen through passing fwsm. yes, you need to define the rules on fwsm for every vlans
