The Cisco Catalyst 6506 Firewall Security System (part number WS-C6506-FWM-K9) offers robust network security solutions designed for high-performance environments. Featuring the modular Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series architecture, this firewall system integrates seamlessly into existing networks, allowing for comprehensive, enterprise-level security monitoring and firewall configuration. It includes a chassis with six slots for scalable expansion, ensuring that businesses can adjust their network infrastructure as their security needs change over time.
This firewall system is designed to enhance both internal and external security postures with advanced threat detection and mitigation. Its ability to handle stateful inspection ensures that it monitors both ends of a network connection, giving users greater control over network traffic. The Cisco Catalyst 6506 Firewall is compatible with a wide range of Cisco-certified modules, delivering flexibility for customisation across multiple network layers, which is essential for businesses requiring tailored security infrastructures.
The WS-C6506-FWM-K9 features multiple security mechanisms, including intrusion prevention systems (IPS), which actively block potential threats. Additionally, this system supports Virtual Private Network (VPN) capabilities, enabling secure encrypted connections across public networks, making it ideal for remote work setups or secure site-to-site connectivity. This firewall system also integrates with Cisco’s Access Control Lists (ACLs) for granular control over who or what can access parts of the network on a per-user or per-device basis.
The system is housed in a highly durable chassis and is designed with redundancy in mind, notably supporting hot-swappable power supplies to minimise downtime in the event of a power issue. Another key feature of this firewall system is its multi-gigabit throughput, allowing it to handle large amounts of traffic without compromising performance or security.
