No, you cannot configure etherchannel or IPS from the CLI of the ASA FTD. You only configure the mgmt interface on the cli, the FDM or FMC must be used to configure everything else (including the external/internal interfaces).<BR />HTH Thu, 02 Aug 2018 16:40:14 GMT Rob Ingram 2018-08-02T16:40:14Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa-ftd-fdm-vs-cli/m-p/3680219#M1005412 <P>Hi Guys,Please i just want to know if:</P> <P>Can we use IPS with FDM ?</P> <P>Can we configure Etherchannel and IPS from CLI of the ASA FTD ?</P> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 16:03:01 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa-ftd-fdm-vs-cli/m-p/3680219#M1005412 GrDragon 2020-02-21T16:03:01Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa-ftd-fdm-vs-cli/m-p/3680229#M1005414 Hi,<BR />Yes, IPS is configured within FDM.
