Regarding the Defense center and the SFR module

diwakar410 — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 07:45:14 GMT

I have DC installed in my VM. The DC and the SFR module are both in version 5.4. During the purchase, i was told that DC is used to monitor the ASA. We have puchased the license for 2 device which means i can monitor upto 2 ASA from my DC. I am wondering if the DC is only used for filtering purpose and monitoring the logs. If possible, i want to have the ACL, NAT and managing everying thing of ASA through this DC so that i don't have to log in to 2 device all the time. Is it even possible? I am using ASA 5515-x version 9.2.2 and ASDM 7.2 and i don't have access of firesight management from the ASDM so i use DC seperately. Thank you in advance.

The defence center is only

The defence center is only used for administering the sourcefire module. You will still need to log into the ASDM to manage the ASAs.

Hello Diwakar,

You understanding about the purpose of using Firesight is not correct. Firesight Management Center is only used to monitor the managed devices under it such as the Firepower devices or Firepower software modules integrated with the ASA firewall. You cannot monitor or manage your ASA firewall using the DC (Firesight Management ). To manage the ASA , you have to use the ASDM .

Since you have an ASA ,using Firepower software module , you can inspect the selected traffic in your environment. Create an Access list and you have to specify the traffic that you need to redirect through the Firepower module.

Select and Rate if this answer helps you.
