Objectives
This document contains instructions and procedures for configuring the Firewall Services Module
(FWSM), a single-width services module supported on the Catalyst 6500 switch and the Cisco 7600
router, using the command-line interface. FWSM protects your network from unauthorized use. This
guide does not cover every feature, but describes only the most common configuration scenarios.
You can also configure and monitor the FWSM by using ASDM, a web-based GUI application. ASDM
includes configuration wizards to guide you through some common configuration scenarios, and online
Help for less common scenarios. For more information, see:
