However, you might need to bypass the FWSM in some network scenarios. Figure 2-2 shows an IPX
host on the same Ethernet segment as IP hosts. Because the FWSM 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 FWSM for IPX traffic. Make sure to configure the MSFC with an
ACL that allows only IPX traffic to pass on VLAN 201.
