Yes, but it's quite expensive. The solution requires you to have the
Supervisor Engine with MSFC ( WS-X6K-SUP1A-MSFC, $30K list price), plus a
FlexWan module (WS-X6182-2PA, $22K list) which is basically the same as a
VIP from a 7500-series router, and then your choice of one or two port
adapters from the 7500/7200 options list; i.e. a PA-4T+ list price $4500.
I can't think of anyplace I'd recommend this solution instead of an external
router connected via ethernet. Even if I'm getting the MSFC Sup, I can get a
good router with serial ports for a lot less than the FlexWan card plus port
adapter.
