I am chosing catalyst 6500 with FWSM.
Does it need IOS Firewall Feature Set( FR-C6FW) for configuration firewall on catalyst6500?
I aleady choosed "SC-SVC-FWM-4.0-K9".

Hello,
The Firewall Feature Set is not really supported on the 6500 switch. If you try to configure any "inspect" commands, the CLI will produce a warning such as:
#ip inspect name brol tcp
%CBAC (Inspect) is not supported by this platform. The configuration is accepted, but it may not work as expected
The firewalling should be done on the FWSM.
Hope that helps!

Hello,
Yes, you do not need "FR-C6FW" on the switch to support the FWSM. Just an FYI, FR-C6FW has actually gone end of life:
What version of FWSM will you be using? Here are the Release Notes for FWSM 4.0, which details the code requirements on the switch:

Thanks!
