Dear All,
i have a Cisco 6509 switch with a FWSM installed on it.
This switch is connected to onother 6509/FWSM in another site.
And the two switches is connected using Giga Ethernet but the provisioned BW from the service provider is 80Mbps.
So i want to know if i can shape the exit traffic to be 80Mbps instead of the access rate (1Giga).
the network look as the following
MSFC1--FWSM1(VLAN10)----------(VLAN10)2FWSM--MSFC2
thanks

in this case and also the best practice
is to make the MSFC facing the WAN or the 80Mbps connection
FWSM---MSFC----WAN----MSFC--FWSM
in this design u gonna be able to manage the WAN connectivity with more options and flexablity
please, Rate if helpful

Many Thanks,
In Fact my switch look as follow:
CONTEXT1(FWSM)-MSFC-CONTEXT2(FWSM)--WAN--CONTEXT2(FWSM)-MSFC-CONTEXT1(FWSM)
and the IP from the WAN Side is configured in the FWSM.
I think i need to remove VLAN 10 from the FWSM group and configure VLAN 10 IP on the MSFC.
and in this case all the routing will be removed from the WAN context FW to the MSFC.
but Is the 6509 MSFC support traffic shaping?
Thanks

Egress QoS is performed on the egress linecard port - features include , queue scheduling, congestion avoidance and in some linecards, shaping.
6500(config-pmap)# class ABC123
6500(config-pmap-c)# ?
QoS policy-map class configuration commands:
bandwidth Bandwidth
exit Exit from QoS class action configuration mode
fair-queue Enable Flow-based Fair Queuing in this Class
no Negate or set default values of a command
police Police
priority Strict Scheduling Priority for this Class
queue-limit Queue Max Threshold for Tail Drop
random-detect Enable Random Early Detection as drop policy
service-policy Configure QoS Service Policy
set Set QoS values
shape Traffic Shaping
good luck
