Ftd integration with Umbrella

Vishal6 — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 11:13:55 GMT

Please find attached diagram and let me know can i integrate my Ftd with Cisco Umbrella
Note-: Here my Ftd will act as a internal firewall and Cisco umbrella will not integrate with Meraki MX due to license limitation.

Cisco Umbrella has dns advantage license.

@Vishal6 you want to configure Umbrella SIG tunnel from FTD? If so here is the cisco guide

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/secure-firewall-threat-defense/220661-secure-firewall-configure-umbrella-sec.html

Else, provide more information on how you wish to integrate.

My concern would i get the required output integrating FTD with Umbrella, where my perimeter firewall Meraki would not be integrated with Umbrella due to license issue.

@Vishal6 thats fine, just follow the guide. The traffic would be routed from the FTD to the Umbrella cloud. You'd just need to allow that communication on the Meraki's in front of the FTDs.

Thank you for reply. How meraki mx act on dns filter restriction made with ftd and umbrella integration. Would it be any false positive ?

@Vishal6 the Meraki MX devices are not going to see the traffic is DNS traffic, the FTD is going to encrypt the traffic to the Umbrella cloud, so as mentioned before you'd need to permit the traffic from the FTD to the Umbrella Cloud networks. I recommend avoiding performing any SSL inspection on the meraki and just allow the communication from the FTD to the Umbrella cloud.
