© 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. CSPFA Summary There are currently five PIX Firewall models in the 500 series: 501, 506E, 515E, 525, and 535. The PIX Firewall models 501, 506E, 515E, 525, and 535 come equipped with Ethernet connections, console connections, and intuitive LEDs. PIX Firewall models 515E, 525, and 535 support failover. Your PIX Firewall license determines its level of service in your network and the number of interfaces it supports.
© 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. CSPFA Summary (cont.) Restricted, Unrestricted, and Failover licenses are available for PIX Firewall models 515E, 525, and 535. Based on PIX Firewall technology, the Firewall Services Module for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Switch and Cisco 7600 Series Internet Routers provides an alternative to the PIX Firewall appliance. FWSM supports PIX Firewall software version 6.0 feature set as well as some of the 6.2 feature set. FWSM delivers Gbps throughput and 1 million concurrent connections.
