IDSM-2 on a 6500 switch

CCIE_2011

Hi guys ....
I'm no expert in IPS and IDS concepts. I have a simple Questions only


We have a 6500 (as a core) can I inspect all traffic bypassing this Switch? from all interfaces/vlans ?

If yes I think it will be quite slow cuz idsm-2 throughput is only 500Mbps for inline and 600 for passive.
On this switch we have active 10g ports and many 1gb port.


Thanks in advance.

Yes you can!

You can pipe whatever VLAN you want to the IDSM and even filter down those vlans with access list.
