Cisco Firepower 1010 Appliance mode

Hello, everyone

We have Cisco Firepower 1010 with ASA in appliance mode. Can we manage FXOS via ASDM or FMC and using IPS?

Like Firepower on 55xx-X Models. The documentation saying:

Unsupported Features

General ASA Unsupported Features

The following ASA features are not supported on the Firepower 1010:

ASA FirePOWER module

But it is separate platform/OS not a module like in 55xx-X Models

Cisco Firepower 1010 Appliance - Means ASA+NGFW ( Linia+ SNORT)

If you looking ASA + SFR feature, Then Firepower NGFW right choice with FTD. you get both FW and IPS Features.

Firepower Managed by FDM(with Limited capabilities) FMC is full-featured Management to Manage Firepower

Thanks for replying

But we already have ASA Firepower 1010 and question is can we use both Firepower as IPS and ASA as Firewall simultaneously. Like in 55xx-X models.

Firepower 1010 and ASA are 2 different products.

ASA is fading and New NGFW is Firepower

ASA supports SFR Module for IPS

With Firepower 1010 - FW and IPS all in one.

But coming back to your Question, if you re-image with ASA you can not have IPS, but in higher models, you can have a multi-instance model where you can do ASA and IPS Separate instance.

Instead, you can use Firepower 1010 ( which has both Firewall and IPS ) is this make sense?

Thanks for the information. It is make sense.

Regarding using Firepower1010 as I know it is still raw platform and some features not available yet.
