CD-FMC Cloud Management

Good Day All,

Hoping you can help me here.

I am looking to obtain Cisco CD-FMC for 4 FTDvs positioned in AWS.

Their respective SKUs have been relatively easy to obtain.

However, looking at the CD-FMC Sku, I am using the : FWM-SEC-SUB

Inside this, there are options for Cisco Secure Firewall Devices Management and then Cloud Management and Logging.

Do I need to select both, or is one just optional for additional logging?

I seem to be able to select one or the other without CCW flagging any errors but I'd hate for this to be a problem later on.

All I'd need is basically eligibility to manage the FTDvs and so forth. No logging required.(For now).

If anybody is able to clarify this for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Please refer to Table 1 in the ordering guide: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/security-cloud-control/security-cloud-control-firewall-management-og.html

Basically, for a given firewall, you would only select one of the options you mentioned - with or without logging included. You pay a lot more for the former since it includes 90 days of event logs (which can be quite voluminous).
