About the Cisco WS-SVC-FWM-1-K9 Cisco Catalyst line card / supervisor / service module
The Cisco WS-SVC-FWM-1-K9 is a hot-swappable service module blade that installs directly into the Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 7600 Series chassis backplane, delivering enterprise-grade firewall services without requiring a dedicated appliance. This Firewall Services Module (FWSM) consolidates security processing alongside routing and switching, making it an ideal choice for network architects and security engineers who need to reduce data center footprint while maintaining robust threat defense.
Running on dedicated Cisco FWSM Software with an IOS-based firewall operating system, the WS-SVC-FWM-1-K9 enforces stateful inspection across TCP, UDP, ICMP and application-layer protocols. It supports both routed mode and transparent (Layer 2) mode operation, enabling flexible deployment in existing network topologies. The module includes full high-availability capabilities with stateful session failover in Active/Standby and Active/Active configurations, ensuring continuous security enforcement during module or chassis transitions. Advanced access control through extended ACLs, VLAN ACLs, and object groups provides granular policy enforcement across up to 1,000 VLANs, while support for 256 security contexts allows service providers and large enterprises to isolate traffic and policies by customer or business unit.
