Management of 5506-x with Firepower Management Center

Dermot O'Flaherty — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 18:50:23 GMT

Hi Community!

We're replacing a 5505 ASA with a 5506-X running ASA 9.8.2 with FirePOWER 6.2.2. We also have 2x new 4120's running FTD that we will be managing via a virtual Firepower Management Center (VMware).

My question is, can we fully manage the 5506 from the FMCv or is it only for managing the FirePOWER module? For example, if I want to set up remote access VPN on the 5506, could I do that from the FMCv or do I need the ASDM?

I'm new to the FTD line of products so any advice is helpful!

Thanks,

Dermot

here is the information :

The Management Center is the centralized point for event and policy management for the following solutions:

● Cisco Firepower Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)

● Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services

● Cisco Firepower Next-Generation IPS (NGIPS)

● Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense for ISR

● Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP)

Note that FMC does not manage the ASA configuration - only that of the Firepower service module.
