How to Connect a Transparent Device to a 6509 w/ FWSM

gdrandles · ‎05-13-2011

We have a 6509-E with a FWSM. I am looking for some help on how to connect our transparent Proxy appliance so that it is inline with the switch and firewall. Below is the logical path that I would like the data to take. Because this is a transparent device, it will not have any IP's associated the either interface. I have used this configuration with an ASA 5550, Proxy, 3750v2. It was easy to connect because these are physically seperate devices. I am having a hard time figuring out the cofiguration and connections since the FW and Switch are physically one device.

Users --> GW --> Proxy --> FW --> ISP

Thanks,

as far as i know, there is no way to do this using FWSM.

The only architecture designs are place the FWSM before the switch or after.
