FAQs

Q: What benefits does Sup720-3BXL provide over 3B?
A: 3BXL offers larger routing and forwarding table scale, useful in large campus/data center cores.

Q: How are the two FWSM modules typically used?
A: They can be used for additional capacity, separation of contexts, or redundancy depending on design and software capabilities.

Q: Do the firewall modules provide external interfaces?
A: No. The FWSMs connect via the internal switch fabric and use VLANs for traffic flows.

Q: Can this system be managed remotely?
A: Yes. Use SSH/CLI and SNMP; FWSM contexts can be administered via their own CLI.

Q: Is SD-WAN or LTE supported?
A: No. This is an integrated switching and firewall system; SD-WAN/LTE are not applicable.
