This API is compatible with FDM and CDO use because they can bothĭiscover the configuration on the firewall. The FTD REST API lets you automate direct configuration of the FTD. To get started with FMC, see Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with FMC. The FTD configuration, and you are not allowed to configure the This feature is useful for remote branchįMC is not compatible with other managers because the FMC owns (or other data) interface instead of from the standard In 6.7 and later, FMC can manage FTDs from the outside Should use FMC if you want a multi-device manager, and you requireĪll features on the FTD. Own server hardware, or as a virtual device on a hypervisor. You can use a single manager for all of your security devices.įMC is a powerful, web-based, multi-device manager that runs on its CDO also manages other security devices, such as ASAs, so Is cloud-based, there is no overhead of running CDO on your own Simplified management experience (similar to FDM). Should use CDO if you want a multi-device manager that offers a Simplified, some FTD features are not supported using CDO. To get started with FDM, see Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with FDM.ĬDO is a simplified, cloud-based multi-device manager. So you can use FDM and CDO to manage the same firewall. Should use FDM if you are only managing a small number of devicesīoth FDM and CDO can discover the configuration on the firewall, Simplified, some FTD features are not supported using FDM. The FTD and ASA support multiple managers.įDM is a web-based, simplified, on-device manager. To reimage between the ASA and the FTD, see Reimage theĬisco ASA or Firepower Threat Defense Device.

We recommend using the FTD over the ASA because it contains most of the majorįunctionality of the ASA, plus additional next generation firewall and IPS In other words, the FTD takes the best of ASA functionalityĪnd combines it with the best next-generation firewall and IPS To an FTD if you start with ASA and later reimage to FTD.įTD-FTD, also known as Firepower NGFW, is a next-generation firewall thatĬombines an advanced stateful firewall, VPN concentrator, and next Cisco provides ASA-to-FTD migration tools to help you convert your ASA The FTD, or if you need an ASA-only feature that is not yet available on theįTD. You may want to use the ASA if you do not need the advanced capabilities of You can use either ASA or Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) operating systems on your hardware platform:ĪSA-The ASA is a traditional, advanced stateful firewall and VPN

This chapter explains the operating system and manager choices. For each operating system, you have a choice of managers.

Your hardware platform can run one of two operating systems. Which Operating System and Manager is Right for You?
