The FWSM does not support the supervisor 1 or 1A. FWSM supports Supervisor Engine 2 with Multilayer
Switch Feature Card 2 (MSFC2), Supervisor 32 or Supervisor 720.
2
Supports multiple switched VLAN interfaces (SVIs) between the Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC)
and FWSM. An SVI is a VLAN interface that is routed on the MSFC.
3
Supports transparent firewall mode when you use failover. Failover requires BPDU forwarding to the
FWSM. Other releases that do not support BPDU forwarding only support transparent mode without failover.
