It does, and though the Access Gateway module isn't supported, you'd be
just as well off w/ a 2600 handling that, as it only provided WIC's as
opposed to PA's of the FlexWAN. As with native IOS on the 6k, its nowhere
near as L2 featureful as CatOS on the Sup1 (ie. fundamental things like
adjustable MTU and niceties like MIST aren't there). I don't recall the
specs on the l3 services module, but also be aware of its limitations,
namely that >100k routes are "not recommended".
With the prevalence of the pure-IOS switches now (native 6k, 4k/sup2,
{29|35}{00|50}, it'd be nice to know just how far out it is until catos is
considered deprecated and new L2 development becomes IOS features..
