Switch Hardware and Software Compatibility

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 2).
The switch supports Cisco IOS software on both the switch supervisor engine and the integrated MSFC
router.
The Catalyst operating system software is not supported.
Note
The FWSM does not support a direct connection to a switch WAN port because WAN ports do not use
static VLANs. However, the WAN port can connect to the MSFC, which can connect to the FWSM.
The FWSM runs its own operating system.
