Threat Defense Deployment with a Remote Management Center
the Firewall in the Device Manager, on page 101
device manager.
Step 11
Click Add a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) method.
DDNS ensures the management center can reach the threat defense at its Fully-Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN) if the threat defense's IP address changes. See Device > System Settings > DDNS Service to configure
DDNS.
If you configure DDNS before you add the threat defense to the management center, the threat defense
automatically adds certificates for all of the major CAs from the Cisco Trusted Root CA bundle so that the
threat defense can validate the DDNS server certificate for the HTTPS connection. The threat defense supports
any DDNS server that uses the DynDNS Remote API specification
Step 12 Click Connect. The Registration Status dialog box shows the current status of the switch to the management
center. After the Saving Management Center/CDO Registration Settings step, go to the management center,
and add the firewall.
If you want to cancel the switch to the management center, click Cancel Registration. Otherwise, do not
close the device manager browser window until after the Saving Management Center/CDO Registration
Settings step. If you do, the process will be paused, and will only resume when you reconnect to the device
manager.
If you remain connected to the device manager after the Saving Management Center/CDO Registration
Settings step, you will eventually see the Successful Connection with Management Center or CDO dialog
box, after which you will be disconnected from the device manager.
