Azure S2S VPN with Cisco 6509-E

[mateens]

Hi,

We have Cisco 6509-E series sup 720 IOS 12.2(33)SXI4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3).  We want to establish a S2S VPN with Azure. The switch does not have a VPN module. Any suggestions ?

Hi,

Firewall Services Module (FWSM) maybe?

Actually we are thinking of upgrading the switch in near future so was wondering if there is any config possible without buying the module...

The second option I know is  Cisco Services SPA Carrier-600 and Cisco Catalyst 6500  Series VPN Services Port Adapter (VSPA). I never heard VPN on 6500 without auxiliar hardware.
