Introduction:
 
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Firewall Services Module (FWSM) provides centralized firewall services under distributed control, allowing firewall services to be easily provisioned for deploying and scaling n-tier applications. In this course, you will learn how to design effective firewall services solutions with the Cisco Catalyst 6500. You will learn how to implement and deploy the FWSM, to streamline the provisioning of multiple firewall contexts, and to deploy the FWSM in high-availability configurations.
 
Audience:
 
Systems Engineers and field engineers who need to design and implement firewall services using the FWSM.
 
Prerequisites:
 
  • CCNP certification or equivalent experience
  • Familiarity with the architecture of the Catalyst 6500 platform
  • Intermediate-level knowledge of firewall concepts, such as NAT and packet inspection
