Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with FMC
Review the Network Deployment
Figure 34: Suggested Remote Management Deployment
6.5 and 6.6 Deployment
The dedicated Management 1/1 interface is a special interface with its own network settings. By default, the
Management 1/1 interface is enabled and configured as a DHCP client. If your network does not include a
DHCP server, you can set the Management interface to use a static IP address during initial setup at the console
port. You can configure other interfaces after you connect the FTD to FMC. Note that Ethernet1/2 through
1/8 are enabled as switch ports by default.
Note In 6.5 and earlier, the Management interface is configured with an IP address (192.168.45.45).
The following figure shows the recommended network deployment for the Firepower 1010. You can also use
this scenario in 6.7 and later for a High Availability deployment, for example.
The FMC can only communicate with the FTD on the Management interface. Moreover, both the FMC and
FTD require internet access from management for licensing and updates.
