Review The Network Deployment And Default Configuration - Cisco Firepower 2100 Getting Started Manual

Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with FDM

Review the Network Deployment and Default Configuration

You can manage the FTD using FDM from either the Management 1/1 interface or the inside interface. The
dedicated Management interface is a special interface with its own network settings.
The following figure shows the recommended network deployment for the Firepower 2100. If you connect
the outside interface directly to a cable modem or DSL modem, we recommend that you put the modem into
bridge mode so the FTD performs all routing and NAT for your inside networks. If you need to configure
PPPoE for the outside interface to connect to your ISP, you can do so after you complete initial setup in FDM.
