CHAPTER 1

Which Operating System and Manager is Right

for You?

Your hardware platform can run one of two operating systems. For each operating system, you have a choice

of managers. This chapter explains the operating system and manager choices.

•Operating Systems, on page 1

•Managers, on page 1

Operating Systems

You can use either ASA or Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) operating systems on your hardware platform:

• ASA—The ASA is a traditional, advanced stateful firewall and VPN concentrator.

You may want to use the ASA if you do not need the advanced capabilities of the FTD, or if you need

an ASA-only feature that is not yet available on the FTD. Cisco provides ASA-to-FTD migration tools

to help you convert your ASA to an FTD if you start with ASA and later reimage to FTD.

• FTD—FTD, also known as Firepower NGFW, is a next-generation firewall that combines an advanced

stateful firewall, VPN concentrator, and next generation IPS. In other words, the FTD takes the best of

ASA functionality and combines it with the best next-generation firewall and IPS functionality.

We recommend using the FTD over the ASA because it contains most of the major functionality of the

ASA, plus additional next generation firewall and IPS functionality.

To reimage between the ASA and the FTD, see Reimage the Cisco ASA or Firepower Threat Defense Device.

Managers

The FTD and ASA support multiple managers.

FTD Managers

Table 1: FTD Managers

DescriptionManager

FDM is a web-based, simplified, on-device manager. Because it is simplified, some

FTD features are not supported using FDM. You should use FDM if you are only

managing a small number of devices and don't need a multi-device manager.

Both FDM and CDO can discover the configuration on the firewall, so you

can use FDM and CDO to manage the same firewall. FMC is not compatible

with other managers.

Note

To get started with FDM, see Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with FDM, on

page 61.

Firepower Device Manager (FDM)

CDO is a simplified, cloud-based multi-device manager. Because it is simplified, some

FTD features are not supported using CDO. You should use CDO if you want a

multi-device manager that offers a simplified management experience (similar to FDM).

And because CDO is cloud-based, there is no overhead of running CDO on your own

servers. CDO also manages other security devices, such as ASAs, so you can use a

single manager for all of your security devices.

In 6.7 and later, CDO offers Low Touch Provisioning that lets branch offices plug in

their hardware and leave it alone: the firewall will automtically register with CDO.

Both FDM and CDO can discover the configuration on the firewall, so you

can use FDM and CDO to manage the same firewall. FMC is not compatible

with other managers.

Note

To get started with CDO low-touch provisioning, see Firepower Threat Defense

Deployment with CDO and Low-Touch Provisioning, on page 5.

To get started with CDO provisioning, see Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with

CDO, on page 23.

Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO)

FMC is a powerful, web-based, multi-device manager that runs on its own server

hardware, or as a virtual device on a hypervisor. You should use FMC if you want a

multi-device manager, and you require all features on the FTD. FMC also provides

powerful analysis and monitoring of traffic and events.

In 6.7 and later, FMC can manage FTDs from the outside (or other data) interface instead

of from the standard Management interface. This feature is useful for remote branch

deployments.

FMC is not compatible with other managers because the FMC owns the FTD

configuration, and you are not allowed to configure the FTD directly,

bypassing the FMC.

Note

To get started with FMC on the Management network, see Firepower Threat Defense

Deployment with FMC, on page 87.

To get started with FMC on a remote network, see Firepower Threat Defense Deployment

with a Remote FMC, on page 123.

Firepower Management Center (FMC)

FTD Managers

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

DescriptionManager

The FTD REST API lets you automate direct configuration of the FTD. This API is

compatible with FDM and CDO use because they can both discover the configuration

on the firewall. You cannot use this API if you are managing the FTD using FMC.

The FTD REST API is not covered in this guide. For more information, see the FTD

REST API guide.

FTD REST API

The FMC REST API lets you automate configuration of FMC policies that can then be

applied to managed FTDs. This API does not manage an FTD directly.

The FMC REST API is not covered in this guide. For more information, see the FMC

REST API guide.

FMC REST API

ASA Managers

Table 2: ASA Managers

DescriptionManager

ASDM is a Java-based, on-device manager that provides full ASA functionality. You

should use ASDM if you prefer using a GUI over the CLI, and you only need to manage

a small number of ASAs. ASDM can discover the configuration on the firewall, so you

can also use the CLI, CDO, or CSM with ASDM.

To get started with ASDM, see ASA Deployment with ASDM, on page 159.

Adaptive Security Device Manager

(ASDM)

You should use the ASA CLI if you prefer CLIs over GUIs.

The CLI is not covered in this guide. For more information, see the ASA configuration

guides.

CLI

CDO is a simplified, cloud-based multi-device manager. Because it is simplified, some

ASA features are not supported using CDO. You should use CDO if you want a

multi-device manager that offers a simplified management experience. And because

CDO is cloud-based, there is no overhead of running CDO on your own servers. CDO

also manages other security devices, such as FTDs, so you can use a single manager

for all of your security devices. CDO can discover the configuration on the firewall, so

you can also use the CLI or ASDM.

CDO is not covered in this guide. To get started with CDO, see the CDO home page.

Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO)

CSM is a powerful, multi-device manager that runs on its own server hardware. You

should use CSM if you need to manage large numbers of ASAs. CSM can discover the

configuration on the firewall, so you can also use the CLI or ASDM. CSM does not

support managing FTDs.

CSM is not covered in this guide. For more information, see the CSM user guide.

DescriptionManager

The ASA REST API lets you automate ASA configuration. However, the API does not

include all ASA features, and is no longer being enhanced.

The ASA REST API is not covered in this guide. For more information, see the ASA

REST API guide.

CHAPTER 2

Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with CDO

and Low-Touch Provisioning

Is This Chapter for You?

Low-Touch Provisioning (LTP) simplifies and automates the onboarding of new Firepower Threat Defense

(FTD) devices to Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO). LTP streamlines the deployment of new Firepower

devices by allowing network administrators to deliver the devices directly to a branch office, add the devices

to the CDO cloud-based device manager, and then manage the devices after the FTD device successfully

connects to the Cisco Cloud.

This chapter explains how to onboard your Firepower devices to CDO using low-touch provisioning. CDO

is a cloud-based multi-device manager that facilitates management of security policies in highly distributed

environments to achieve consistent policy implementation. CDO helps you optimize your security policies

by identifying inconsistencies with them and by giving you tools to fix them. CDO gives you ways to share

objects and policies, as well as make configuration templates, to promote policy consistency across devices.

This feature requires Firepower version 6.7 or later.

Note

This document assumes the Firepower 1010 hardware has a pre-installed FTD image on it. The Firepower

1010 hardware can run either FTD software or ASA software. Switching between FTD and ASA requires

you to reimage the device. See Reimage the Cisco ASA or Firepower Threat Defense Device.

The Firepower 1010 runs an underlying operating system called the Firepower eXtensible Operating System

(FXOS). The Firepower 1010 does not support the FXOS Firepower Chassis Manager; only a limited CLI is

supported for troubleshooting purposes. See the FXOS troubleshooting guide for more information.

Privacy Collection Statement—The Firepower 1010 Series does not require or actively collect

personally-identifiable information. However, you can use personally-identifiable information in the

configuration, for example for usernames. In this case, an administrator might be able to see this information

when working with the configuration or when using SNMP.

Branch Office Installation

After you receive the FTD from your corporate IT department, you need to record the firewall's serial number

and send it to the CDO administrator. Outline a communication plan for the onboarding process. Include any

key tasks to be completed and provide points of contact for each item.

Then, you need to cable and power on the firewall so that it has internet access from the outside interface.

The CDO administrator can then complete the onboarding process.

You can watch this video to see how a Branch employee onboards a firewall using CDO and low-touch

provisioning.

Tip

Provide the Firewall Serial Number to the Central Administrator

Before you rack the firewall or discard the shipping box, verify that your firewall can be deployabled using

low-touch provisioning, and record the serial number so you can coordinate with the central adminstrator.

This procedure assumes you are working with a new firewall running FTD Version 6.7 or later.

Note

Procedure

Step 1 Unpack the chassis and chassis components.

Cisco Firepower 1010 Getting Started Guide

Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with CDO and Low-Touch Provisioning

Branch Office Installation

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

Take inventory of your firewall and packaging before you connect any cables or power on the firewall. You

should also familiarize yourself with the chassis layout, components, and LEDs.

Step 2 Verify that the software version is 6.7 or later by checking the product ID (PID) on the shipping box.

The cardboard box in which the firewall was shipped should have a plain white sticker on it that indicates the

shipped version of software (6.7 or later).

The PID should be similar to this example of a Firepower 1010 PID: SF-F1K-TD6.7-K9.

Step 3 Record the firewall's serial number.

The serial number of the firewall can be found on the shipping box. It can also be found on a sticker on the

on the bottom of the firewall chassis.

Step 4 Send the firewall serial number to the CDO network administrator at your IT department/central headquarters.

Your network administrator needs your firewall serial number to facilitate low-touch provisioning, connect

to the firewall, and configure it remotely.

Communicate with the CDO administrator to develop an onboarding timeline.

Cable the Device

This topic describes the how to connect the Firepower 1010 to your network so that it can be managed remotely

by a CDO administrator.

• If you received a Firepower firewall at your branch office and your job is to plug it in to your network,

watch this video.

The video describes your Firepower device and the LED sequences on the device that indicate the device's

status. If you need to, you'll be able to confirm the device's status with your IT department just by looking

at the LEDs.
