How much overhead BW should be considered on WAN links when the FirePOWER Threat Defence for ISR solution is deployed?
07-14-2015 10:42 AM
FireSIGHT virtual instance can receive 10 million events. It can support 25 sensors (both virtual and physical).
It depends on how much traffic the sensor processes and how many events are sent from the FirePOWER sensor to FireSIGHT manager. This depends on the number of hosts in your environment and the anticipated security events rate.
Unfortunately, there is no one answer to this question. If you could reach out to your local Cisco account team, they will be able to analyze the size of your network, traffic pattern, anticipated events rate and suggest the requirement for BW.
