Modular 6-slot core platform preconfigured with Supervisor 720-3B and a Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for integrated, backplane-based stateful firewalling between VLANs and network segments. Ideal for campus and data center edge/core segmentation with centralized policy enforcement.

Features

- Integrated switching and stateful firewalling in one modular platform
- Backplane-based firewall insertion removes the need for external cabling between switch and firewall
- Multi-context virtualization for policy separation by tenant or zone
- Routed or transparent deployment flexibility
- Scalable design with additional line cards and services modules

FAQs

Technical Specifications

FAQs

Q: Does the FWSM have its own physical network ports?
A: No. The FWSM connects internally to the chassis backplane and exchanges traffic with VLANs on the switch fabric.

Q: What is the difference between Sup720-3B and 3BXL?
A: Both provide 720-class forwarding; 3BXL primarily adds larger routing/forwarding table scale. This system includes Sup720-3B.

Q: Can I run the firewall in routed or transparent mode?
A: Yes, FWSM supports both routed and transparent (Layer 2) modes.

Q: How many virtual firewalls (contexts) are supported?
A: Multiple contexts are supported; the maximum depends on software version and memory resources.

Q: Are uplinks provided by the firewall module?
A: Uplinks are provided by the Supervisor and line cards; the FWSM uses internal VLANs over the backplane.
