Register The Device With The Firepower Management Center And Assign Smart Licenses - Cisco ASA 5508-X Quick Start Manual

Cisco Firepower Threat Defense for the ASA 5508-X and ASA 5516-X Using Firepower Management Center Quick Start Guide
If the device and the Firepower Management Center are separated by a NAT device, enter a unique NAT ID
along with the registration key, and specify DONTRESOLVE instead of the hostname, for example:
>configure manager add DONTRESOLVE my_reg_key my_nat_id
Manager successfully configured.
The Firepower Management Center and the security appliance use the registration key and NAT ID (instead of
IP addresses) to authenticate and authorize for initial registration. The NAT ID must be unique among all NAT
IDs used to register managed appliances to establish trust for the initial communication and to look up the
correct registration key.
Note: At least one of the security appliances, either the Firepower Management Center or the Firepower
Threat Defense, must have a public IP address to establish the two-way, SSL-encrypted communication
channel between the two appliances.
