Let me lay out the basic topology of a network first:
A 6500 has several VLANS configured on it. Among these are an external
internet vlan, a dmz, and several internal vlans. The internal vlans are
routed by an MSFC in the 6500. Routing between the internal, dmz, and
external are handled by a firewall external to the 6500.
Are there any security issues with having all of these VLANS in the same
box? Someone in our organization is concerned that someone can hack the
switch just because the connection from the internet is plugged into it.
The switch's management address is on one of the internal vlans, and an
access list is on the telnet access that restricts access from only the
internal vlans.
