Compatibility matrix for FMC and SFR

LuigiDiFronzo9542 — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 17:53:06 GMT

Hello,

I'd like to plan if possible, to use the FMC 1600 ver 7.2.5 for administering a couple of SFR in ASA 5545 ver 9.14(3)13.

That would be feasible, anyone could share a compatibility matrix?

Thanks.

@LuigiDiFronzo9542 FMC version 7.2.x can manage a device running version 6.6 or newer. You cannot manage ASA software with the FMC, I assume you mean the Firepower Service Modules. They must be running 6.6, which is the last version supported by that hardware.

Thanks for the answer Rob,

Yes, I mean managing Firepower service modules.
Another question, is it possible for the same FMC to manage the Firepower service module and a Firepower 2100, of course with different policies for each?

Thanks

@LuigiDiFronzo9542 yes the FMC 1600 can manage up to 50 devices of different model types with separate policies as long as the managed device is running 6.6 or newer.
