Best practices for securing networks with FWSM
The Firewall Services Module (FWSM) is a high-performance stateful-inspection
firewall that integrates into the Cisco® 6500 switch and 7600 router chassis.
The FWSM monitors traffic flows using application inspection engines to provide
a strong level of network security. The FWSM defines the security parameter
and enables the enforcement of security policies through authentication, access
control lists, and protocol inspection. The FWSM is a key component to anyone
deploying network security.
Cisco Secure Firewall Services Module (FWSM) covers all aspects of the FWSM.
The book provides a detailed look at how the FWSM processes information, as
well as installation advice, configuration details, recommendations for network
integration, and reviews of operation and management. This book provides you
with a single source that comprehensively answers how and why the FWSM functions
as it does. This information enables you to successfully deploy the FWSM and
gain the greatest functional benefit from your deployment. Practical examples
throughout show you how other customers have successfully deployed the FWSM.
By reading this book, you will learn how the FWSM functions, the differences
between the FWSM and the ASA Security Appliance, how to implement and maintain
the FWSM, the latest features of the FWSM, and how to configure common installations.
• Understand modes of operation, security levels, and contexts for the
FWSM
• Configure routing protocols and the host-chassis to support the FWSM
• Deploy ACLs and Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)
• Apply class and policy maps
• Configure multiple FWSMs for failover support
• Configure application and protocol inspection
• Filter traffic using filter servers, ActiveX, and Java filtering functions
• Learn how IP multicast and the FWSM interact
• Increase performance with firewall load balancing
• Configure IPv6 and asymmetric routing
• Mitigate network attacks using shunning, anti-spoofing, connection limits,
and timeouts
• Examine network design, management, and troubleshooting best practices
