Deploying Firewall Services With the Cisco Catalyst 6500 FWSM v1.0 2 days Lecture/lab
Course description
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, how to streamline the provisioning of multiple firewall contexts, and how to deploy the FWSM in high-availability configurations.

Learning objectives
After you complete this course, you will be able to:
  • Describe the basic installation and configuration procedures for configuring the FWSM
  • Describe the purpose and use of Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT)
  • Describe the proper mode for attaching the FWSM to the network
  • Configure routed and transparent modes
  • Specify the traffic which is allowed to transit the FWSM
  • Configure static routes
  • Configure Remote Management
  • Configure Advanced NAT functions
  • Configure AAA services
  • Configure deep packet inspection
  • Provision and manage multiple contexts in order to provide centralized services under distributed control
  • Configure high-availability firewall services using two FWSMs
Who should attend
This course is designed for Systems Engineers who need to design and implement firewall services using the FWSM.

Recommended prerequisites
  • CCNP certification or equivalent experience
  • Familiarity with the architecture of the Catalyst 6500 platform
