To deploy the FMC you need information about the environment within which it will operate. The following
figure shows an example network configuration for a Firepower deployment.
Sunday afternoon local time. You can observe the status of this task using the web interface Message
Center. You can see the configuration for this task in the web interface under System > Tools >
Scheduling. If the task scheduling fails and your FMC has internet access, we recommend you schedule
a recurring task for downloading software updates as described in the
Configuration Guide
for your version.
This task only downloads software patch and hotfix updates for the version your appliances are currently
running; it it your responsibility to install any updates this task downloads. See the Cisco Firepower
Management Center Upgrade Guide for more information.
The FMC automatically schedules a weekly task to perform a locally-stored configuration-only backup
at 2 AM UTC on Monday mornings; depending on the date and your specific location this can occur any
time from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon local time. You can observe the status of this task
using the web interface Message Center. You can see the configuration for this task in the web interface
under System > Tools > Scheduling. If the task scheduling fails, we recommend you schedule a recurring
task to perform backups as described in the
your version.
In Versions 6.6+, the FMC downloads and installs the latest vulnerability database (VDB) update from
the Cisco support site. This is a one-time operation. You can observe the status of this update using the
web interface Message Center. To keep your system up to date, if your FMC has internet access, we
recommend you schedule tasks to perform automatic recurring VDB update downloads and installations
as described in the
Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide
In Versions 6.6+, the FMC configures a daily automatic intrusion rule update from the Cisco support
site. The FMC deploys automatic intrusion rule upates to affected managed devices when it next deploys
affected policies. You can observe the status of this task using the web interface Message Center. You
can see the configuration for this task in the web interface under System > Updates > Rule Updates. If
configuring the update fails and your FMC has internet access, we recommend you configure regular
intrusion rule updates as described in the
version.
