[c-nsp] FWSM failover transparent mode

[Holemans Wim]

48 port 10/100/1000mb EtherModule      WS-X6148-GE-TX

Bought them without knowing about the 8port 1Gig limit ;
We plan to replace this construction next year with a VSS solution, type
of 65XX not yet chosen.

Not to hijack this thread, but what modules are you using for server
connectivity in your 6513?  We deployed some 6513s as SF switches long
ago (bad decision), and are now swapping them out with the 6509-E
chassis due to the need for additional performance (6748s in all
slots).
