Threat Defense Deployment with the Management Center
Review the Network Deployment
Figure 1: Separate Management Network
Edge Network Deployment
Both the management center and the threat defense require internet access from management for licensing
and updates.
The following figure shows a possible network deployment for the Firepower 1100 where the Firepower 1100
acts as the internet gateway for the management center and threat defense managamement.
In the following diagram, the Firepower 1100 acts as the internet gateway for the management interface and
the management center by connecting Management 1/1 to an inside interface through a Layer 2 switch, and
by connecting the management center and management computer to the switch. (This direct connection is
allowed because the management interface is separate from the other interfaces on the threat defense.)
