Installing A Firepower Managed Device; Included Items; Security Considerations - Cisco 7010 Installation Manual

Installing a Firepower Managed Device

Firepower System appliances are easily installed on your network as part of a larger Firepower System
deployment. You install devices on network segments to inspect traffic and generate intrusion events
based on the intrusion policy applied to it. This data is transmitted to a Firepower Management Center,
which manages one or more devices to correlate data across your full deployment, and coordinate and
respond to threats to your security.
You can use multiple management interfaces to improve performance or to isolate and manage traffic
Tip
from two different networks. You configure the default management interface (
installation. You can configure additional management interfaces after installation from the user
interface. For more information, see Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide.
You can pre-configure multiple appliances at one location to be used in different deployment locations.
For guidance on pre-configuring, see
