Build ACL in FMC

dpditstaff — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 18:03:46 GMT

Greetings - We have a Firepower device managed via FMC and need add a large number of ACLs to the control plane. Adding the ACLs using the GUI is time consuming and cumbersome to maintain. This is a process we would historically script with the ASA. Is there a similar command line process for the FMC?

Thanks

@dpditstaff You cannot natively configure the control plane ACL using the CLI on the FTD.

Typically you would use FlexConfig, you can paste the ASA CLI commands. Example:- https://integratingit.wordpress.com/2021/06/26/ftd-control-plane-acl/

You can use API to add bulk of object into FMC

But believe me it harder than use fmc.
