Review Network Deployment for Versions 6.5 and Later
Figure 4: Example Network Deployment
By default the FMC connects to your local management network through its management interface (eth0).
Through this connection the FMC communicates with a management computer; managed devices; services
such as DHCP, DNS, NTP; and the internet.
The FMC requires internet access to support Smart Licensing, AMP (Advanced Malware Protection) and TID
(Threat Intelligence Director) services. Depending on services provided by your local management network,
the FMC may also require internet access to reach an NTP or DNS server. You can configure your network
to provide internet access to the FMC directly or through a firewall device.
You can upload updates for system software, as well as the Vulnerability Database (VDB), Geolocation
Database (GEoDB), and intrusion rules directly to the FMC from an internet connection or from a local
computer that has previously downloaded these updates from the internet.
