FirePower Deployment

Hi All,

New to the world of IPS and Firepower. Wondering if these devices must sit inline or just on the network somewhere?

Currently have a 2951 as edge facing device and the plan would be to put a 5515-X with FirePower "behind" that device. Just wondering where it would sit? Can't seem to find much documentation for this online.

Thanks!

Yeah docs are a bit obtuse.

Yeah docs are a bit obtuse. Ours sits behind our edge routers, but we also use a 5585X where there's a separate hardware module with a backplane connection to the ASA. ASA is deployed but still in the process of playing with the IPS in network discovery mode. It's a powerful device that will show you tons of information about the traffic on your network.

Hi,Maybe these network
