[c-nsp] Cat6509 and transparent firewall

[Ruben Alvarez]

No NAT.  we are testing this in a lab so I'll know if it works beforehand.
I'm going to trunking with the PF or secondary VLAN.

Ruben, what kind of Natting scheme is the client using. I think that needs
to be explored before your question can be answered. If there is none, then
you may be able to trunk the switchport. If you have the hardware, try and
replicate the config and see what happens. I am no expert but have had some
experience with pf.

Hello,

I have a client with a transparent firewall connected to my Cat 6509.  Its
running PF firewall running on a server and currently I have then on a VLAN
with an interface VLAN as their gateway.  The client has requested more IP
addresses.  They don't want to renumber and I can't expand their current /28
so I'm trying to think of a way to route another subnet to them.

My first thought was to give them another VLAN and turn their switchport to
a trunk, but I don't know if a firewall like that can trunk with a Cisco
switch.  Anyone have any ideas about this?  The firewall has no IP address
for it is a bridge.

Thanks.
