No experience with the fw module but if you had an asa or any fw (single or pair) you could run the outside interface(s) off the 6500 on one vlan, then one or more physical inside interfaces back to the 6500 with one or more vlans per customer.

The 6500 has SUP720-3B running 12.2(33) SXI4 Adv.IP Services. The initial design was to terminate and route customers on the 6500 using a unique VLAN for each customer and allocate a IP subnet for each VLAN. An issue about this solution is firewalling and we will need to firewall some customers. According to other threads the IOS firewalling feature is limited on the 6500 platform and should be avoided. A stateful portbased firewall using ACLs would be sufficient for our need if it would be the same as in router IOS. A quick solution would be to terminate all customers on a router, eg a 7200, which would do the job, but we would have all traffic routed over a single interface which would make the router a bottleneck. Another solution might be to use FWSM as a transparent firewall (see diagram below). I would prefer to terminate interfaces on the 6500 rather than on the FWSM in a routed setup. Vlan 200 (WAN 1) (x.y.z.1/30) | | .-----------. |6500 SUP720| '-----------' | | Vlan 100 (CUST A) (a.b.c.1/30) Vlan 101 (CUST B) (a.b.c.5/30) Vlan 102 (CUST C) (a.b.c.9/30) I would be happy to hear your thoughts and experience on the subject.
