This module delivers the fastest firewall data rates
in the industry: 5 Gbps throughput, 100,000 CPS,
and one million concurrent connections. Up to
four modules can be installed in a single chassis,
offering scalability to 20 Gbps per chassis. Based
on Cisco PIX
®
Firewall technology, it provides large
enterprises and service providers with unmatched
security, reliability, and performance.
• Allows any port on Cisco Catalyst 6500 to
operate as a rewall port and integrates rewall
security inside the network infrastructure.
• Provides unsurpassed performance to meet
future requirements, scaling to up to 20 Gbps
per chassis without requiring a system overhaul.
• Offers the best price/performance ratio of any
rewall, utilizing the familiar, time-tested Cisco
PIX Operating System to reduce the cost of
training, and integrating rewall services into the
chassis to reduce management requirements.
• An intuitive graphical user interface (GUI)
simplies management and conguration, and it’s
supported by the Cisco management framework
and by Cisco AVVID partners for conguration
and monitoring.
• Virtualized FWSM delivers multiple rewalls on
one physical hardware platform, allowing network
administrators to congure, deploy, and manage
functions as if they were separate devices, while
reducing the cost and complexity of managing
network infrastructure.
