With separate switches, each segment can talk freely to all other servers on the segment but not outside, since the FW watches that route. For one big switch connected to an outside FW, all segments can talk to all segments (if the switch behaves as a L2 one). What about 6500 with FWSM? does resetting the config prevents it from seeing any traffic?On C6500 platform all ports are in `disable' or `administratively down'
^^^^^^^ Ooops... On CatOS all ports are in *enable* state after `clear config all' command unless you explicity change that behaviour using `set default port status disable'.
