Cisco 3725 access list question

[shthco]

Hello

Our company uses a Cisco 3725 router. The router has 6 serial interfaces and 2 ethernet interfaces. We have 6 T-1 lines, attached to the six serial interfaces on the public side of the router. The routers configuration load balances packets across all 6 T-1 lines. On the private side a cable runs from an ethernet interface to our firewall. I have been considering setting up an access-list, to provide extra security. But I have read that you can't or shouldn't use access-lists when using special router configuration such as this. Is this true?

Any help would be great!

Thanks

There is nothing really uncommon about your current router configuration, but since all traffic needs to pass thru the Firewall I don't see the point of wasting Router cycles by adding an ACL when you can do this on the FW. What is your reasoning for adding the ACL on the Router - what are you trying to deny/permit ?

Good Luck.
