Configuring the Switch for the Firewall Services
Module
This chapter describes how to configure the Catalyst 6500 series switch or the Cisco 7600 series router
for use with the FWSM. Before completing the procedures in this chapter, configure the basic properties
of your switch, including assigning VLANs to interfaces, according to the documentation that came with
your switch.

Switch Overview
You can install the FWSM in the Catalyst 6500 series switches or the Cisco 7600 series routers. The
configuration of both series is identical, and the series are referred to generically in this guide as the
“switch.” The switch includes a switch (the supervisor engine) as well as a router (the MSFC).
The switch supports Cisco IOS software on both the switch supervisor engine and the integrated MSFC
router.
Note
The Catalyst operating system software is not supported.
The FWSM runs its own operating system.
Note
Because the FWSM runs its own operating system, upgrading the Cisco IOS software does not affect the
operation of the FWSM.
See the
“Using the MSFC” section on page 1-6
for more information about the MSFC.
