1. use the documentation as to the placement. Sup720 on a 6509 go in slot 5 and 6. about where the FWSM has to go.... Mine's in slot 2
2. on the 6509 you have it. firewall multiple-vlan-interfaces firewall module 2 vlan-group 2,500 firewall vlan-group 2 x,y,z,AA,BB firewall vlan-group 500 A,B,C,xx,yy,zz 3. one SVI is used as the VLAN to interact with the FWSM IE. Vlan 100 is used on both the MSFC and the FWSM this Vlan is how all traffic goes from one to the other. The only other requirement is that the vlan's are setup on the sup and passed to the FWSM. The FWSM has all the "SVI" interfaces for the vlan's you pass. Behind vs in front is based on network topology. Hope that helps.

Despite the 3.2 configuration guide being fairly good at describing the placement of MSFC with regard to FWSM etc., can any one help regarding the following: 1. Placement of FWSM with regard to MSFC, the pros and cons. 2. In a routed single-context mode, what is the requirement to getting traffic to the blade, above and beyond the firewall 'vlan-group <firewall-group> <vlan-range>' and 'firewall module <module> vlan-group' commands? 3. What exactly dictates whether the FWSM in in front of or behind the MSFC? Is it the order of the VLAN ID's? I'm confused. Any help appreciated.
