6500 Series/7600 Series ASA Services Module delivers superior technology that seamlessly
integrates with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers to provide unmatched security,
reliability, and performance. Based on the Cisco ASA platform, the most widely deployed firewall in the industry,
the ASA Services Module supports the highest throughput, five times the concurrent connections, and twice as
many connections per second as competitive network security modules, to meet the growing needs of today’s most
many connections per second as competitive network security modules, to meet the growing needs of today’s most
dynamic organizations - all in a single blade architecture.
The ASA Services Module makes it easy to add full firewall capabilities to an existing infrastructure by sliding a
blade into an empty slot in an existing Catalyst 6500 Series switch or Cisco 7600 Series router - no additional rack
space, cabling, power, or physical interface is required (Figure 1). It also works in tandem with other modules in the
chassis to deliver robust security throughout the entire chassis, effectively making every port a security port. By
using the data center’s existing infrastructure to deliver network security services, the ASA Services Module
using the data center’s existing infrastructure to deliver network security services, the ASA Services Module
delivers superior return on investment (ROI) and greatly simplifies maintenance and management.

Features and Benefits
The ASA Services Module helps data centers increase effectiveness and efficiency in protecting their networks and
applications. The module delivers exceptional protection of a Cisco Catalyst 6500 or Cisco 7600 Series investment
and helps to reduce the total cost of network ownership - all while lowering operating costs and addressing
intangible opportunity costs. This is accomplished through the following elements:
●
Seamless integration. The ASA Services Module seamlessly integrates with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series
switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers. Full firewall capabilities are added by simply sliding the ASA
Services Module into an empty slot in the existing Catalyst 6500 Series switch or Cisco 7600 Series router.
No rack space is required; since the module populates an empty slot within the existing switch or router; all
interfaces are virtual, eliminating the need to manage physical interfaces. And because the module uses the
