Just Purchased FWSM some questions.
1. Can I install FWSM in a Cat 6513 without power down?
2. Is the software pre-installed on FWSM?
3. In transparent, can I have 1 group with 1 outside VLAN and multiple inside VLANs or do I need a group for each inside/outside pair?

Hi
1) Yes you can insert the module while the switch is up and running
2) Yes it will have software on it - depends on what you ordered.
3) Not entirely sure i follow. You can have bridge groups in transparent mode but i believe they are still pairs of vlans.

Number 3.
You can have up to multiple briidge groups (up to 8)
Each Bridge group is a pair of interfaces/
you could subnet the network to give the same function as one outside to many insides.
The FWSM road map I beleive talks about the scenario you describe.
