Cisco ASA Series ASDM Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Configuring the Switch for Use with the ASA Services Module
Using the MSFC as a Directly Connected Router
You might need to bypass the ASASM in some network scenarios. Figure 1-2 shows an IPX host on the
same Ethernet segment as IP hosts. Because the ASASM in routed firewall mode only handles IP traffic
and drops other protocol traffic like IPX (transparent firewall mode can optionally allow non-IP traffic),
you might want to bypass the ASASM for IPX traffic. Make sure that you configure the MSFC with an
access list that allows only IPX traffic to pass on VLAN 201.
