Reliability—Cisco firewalls provide adaptable security services for operation-critical network
•
environments by using the integrated stateful failover capabilities within the Firewall Services
Module. Network traffic can be automatically sent to a hot-standby module in the event of a failure,
while maintaining concurrent connections with automated state synchronization between the
primary module and the standby module.
Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT)—Cisco firewalls provide
•
NAT and PAT services that conceal IP addresses of internal networks and expand network address
space for internal networks.
Denial-of-service (DoS) attack prevention—Cisco firewalls protect the firewall and networks
•
behind them from attempts to gain access, which can bring a network to a halt.
•
Scalability—Up to two modules are supported in a single Cisco 7600 series router chassis.
The following PIX firewall features are not supported by the module:
Virtual private networks (VPN) (the module supports IPSec VPN only for management purposes.)
•
Intrusion detection system (IDS) syslog messages
•
PIX Firewall Manager (PFM)
•
CSPM
•
Conduit
•
DHCP client
