FIrepower 2130 FTD vs ASA code

eric.lovelace — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 14:19:07 GMT

Can someone explain the difference between running the ftd and asa software on a firepower 2130? We have hit a roadblock where fmc is running 6.1 and the 2130 is running ftd 6.2.

Does asa have the same feature set and speed as the ftd code? or will the asa code turn the 2130 into just a firewall without sourcefire?

Hi Eric,

ASA doesn't have the "sourcefire"features. Moreover it is not manageable by FMC.

Hi Andre thanks for the reply - You do mean running asa code on the 2100 doesn't have the sourcefire features correct?

Yes, running asa code on the 2100 doesn't have the sourcefire features.

Cannot you upgrade your FMC to version 6.2?
