Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with FMC
Is This Chapter for You?
This chapter explains how to complete the initial configuration of your Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) and
how to register the device to a Firepower Management Center (FMC). In a typical deployment on a large
network, you install multiple managed devices on network segments. Each device controls, inspects, monitors,
and analyzes traffic, and then reports to a managing FMC. The FMC provides a centralized management
console with a web interface that you can use to perform administrative, management, analysis, and reporting
tasks in service to securing your local network.
For networks that include only a single device or just a few, where you do not need to use a high-powered
multiple-device manager like the FMC, you can use the integrated Firepower Device Manager (FDM). Use
the FDM web-based device setup wizard to configure the basic features of the software that are most commonly
used for small network deployments.
Note
The Cisco Firepower 2100 hardware can run either FTD software or ASA software. Switching between FTD
and ASA requires you to reimage the device. See
Device.
Note The Firepower 2100 runs an underlying operating system called the Firepower eXtensible Operating System
(FXOS). The Firepower 2100 does not support the FXOS Firepower Chassis Manager; only a limited CLI is
supported for troubleshooting purposes. See the
Note
