Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with CDO
Is This Chapter for You?
This chapter explains how to onboard your Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) device to Cisco Defense
Orchestrator (CDO) using CDO's onboarding wizard. Before you onboard your FTD device to CDO, you
need to complete the initial system configuration using the local Firepower Device Manager (FDM), which
is hosted directly on the device.
CDO is a cloud-based multi-device manager that facilitates management of security policies in highly distributed
environments to achieve consistent policy implementation. CDO helps you optimize your security policies
by identifying inconsistencies with them and by giving you tools to fix them. CDO gives you ways to share
objects and policies, as well as make configuration templates, to promote policy consistency across devices.
Note
This document assumes the Firepower 1010 hardware has a pre-installed FTD image on it. The Firepower
1010 hardware can run either FTD software or ASA software. Switching between FTD and ASA requires
you to reimage the device. See
The Firepower 1010 runs an underlying operating system called the Firepower eXtensible Operating System
(FXOS). The Firepower 1010 does not support the FXOS Firepower Chassis Manager; only a limited CLI is
supported for troubleshooting purposes. See the
Privacy Collection Statement-The Firepower 1010 Series does not require or actively collect
personally-identifiable information. However, you can use personally-identifiable information in the
configuration, for example for usernames. In this case, an administrator might be able to see this information
when working with the configuration or when using SNMP.
