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 firewall port and integrates firewall
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
firewall, utilizing the familiar, time-tested Cisco
PIX Operating System to reduce the cost of
training, and integrating firewall services into the
chassis to reduce management requirements.
• An intuitive graphical user interface (GUI)
simplifies management and configuration, and it’s
supported by the Cisco management framework
and by Cisco AVVID partners for configuration
and monitoring.
• Virtualized FWSM delivers multiple firewalls on
one physical hardware platform, allowing network
administrators to configure, deploy, and manage
functions as if they were separate devices, while
reducing the cost and complexity of managing
network infrastructure.
