FTD Smart Licensing

taro75 — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 08:00:23 GMT

I have cisco 2110 firewall with smart licensing attached. Unfortunately I do not have the direct Internet connection from the firewalls. AI have activated the smart license with tokens, after a few days it shows the license as non-complaint. How can I disable this warning?

Also is there any impact on the functionality of the firewall during this warning?

what version of code running, personally i do not belive that you can disable this - this is License complaince message, since smart License activate and device try to contact smart License server.

there 2 ways you can do - you can setup on prem smart License server (which can connect to internet and update the License)

or you can look airgap License method (contact License team they are very helpfull if you have any other information required)

I am using 7.0.5-72 on FTD 2110.

There is no way for me to make this arrangement, by query is if there is a compliance warning, is it going to impact the way firewall functions for access rule verification assuming no IPS changes expected.
