I have a Cisco 5002 switch and would like to enable intervlan routing.

Can i use RSM or can this not be used on a 5002?

Looks like the 5002 does not support RSM or VIP/2.

Thanks. So does that mean intervlan routing cannot be enabled on a 5002
or is there another way?

I seem to recall that -

If you have a NFFC of the correct flavour you can do
MLS (Multi Layer Switching) with a relatively small
external router doing the routing of the initial packets.

This though is kind of old technology and always seemed a bit
ropey at the best of times. It was swiftly overtaken by
L3 hardware routing. I have no idea what the support for it
is in current software.

"Catalyst 5000 series switches support MLS in Supervisor Engine III
with Netflow Feature Card (NFFC) or NFFC II."

This appears to be slightly misleading since you //ALSO//
need a router.

"Catalyst 5000 also supports MLS using Route Switch Module (RSM),
Route Switch Feature Card (RSFC), or external Cisco 7500, 7200,
4500, 4700, and 3600 series routers. The MSM or MSFC on a
Catalyst 6000 switch can also be used as an external RP for #
Catalyst 5000."
