How about some love for the FWSM's as well?
I'm part of a service provider operation. We don't get any love
for IPv6 support here. Driving me crazy.
I mean, seriously, do I have to rip out the FWSM's and put in
10GE trunks to a pair of Linux boxes just to get IPv4+IPv6 to work
correctly at the same time?
It'd probably save me time and effort in the long run. Sigh.
And while you're at it, Cisco, *PLEASE* fix the ASDM IPv6 support
such that I can just drop in the IPv6 object into an existing
rule, and the back end figures out the magic? I shouldn't have to
duplicate all my rules for both IPv4 and IPv6.
