Stateful inspection. If you just want a FW you would not need the IDSM. Depending on application you might also want the IDSM. (depends)

Hi, We have 6509/720-3A's acting as aggregation switches in a small Internet Data Centre doing L3, L2 Vlaning, OSPF etc. The boxes seem to be well capable of handling current traffic loads. With the 6509's capablity to implement ACL's/VACL's in the PFC, what extra would a FWSM give us? The documentation mentions traffic inspection at L4-L7 and would you even consider running FWSM's without IDSM-2's? Any thoughts?
