Catalyst 6500 Series Switch and Cisco 7600 Series Router Firewall Services Module Configuration Guide

OL-6392-01

Chapter 15 Using Failover

Understanding Failover

• Switch/FWSM failure—If the entire switch fails, as well as the FWSM (such as in a power failure),

then both the switch and the FWSM fail over to their secondary modules (Figure 15-4).
