ASA 5515-X, Firepower with firesight

[ansarjavaid54]

Hello guys, I have a confusion related to Firepower management and its license. We bought ASA 5516-X with firepower serves along with 3 Licenses.

1. URL Filtering 

2. IPS

3. AMP

I want to manage Firepower services with Firesight. My question is do i need to buy FIRESIGHT software along with these licenses  ips,amp,filtering? or it will work with already purchased firepower licenses.

Hello ,

Its purely based on how you want to manage the ASA firepower services. If you want to manage the Firepower module using a Firesight Mangement Center then either you can install a Virtual Firesight Management Center on VMware platform. Or else you can opt for a hardware firesight appliance.If you need to buy a Firesight hardware appliance you can contact your accounts team .For both virtual or hardware appliance , if you need the software images, then you can directly download it from the Cisco software downloads.

Here is the quick reference link towards the Virtual Firesight Image :-

https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=286259687&softwareid=286271056&release=Rules%20Updates&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest

Here is the quick reference for a Firesight Hardware appliance :-

https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=286261233&flowid=54050&softwareid=286271056&release=6.0.1&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest

Thus the softwares you can download according to the versions that you need and its all available  in Cisco website software download section .

To manage a Firepower from the Firesight , you need a minimum of Protection and Control license. Along with the URL filtering and other required license, please make sure that you have a Protection and Control license to manage the devices.

Also for the installation purpose, let me know if you need guidance or helpful links.

Rate if this answer helps you.

Thanks for your reply.

I will go with image from cisco. I know that its price is nearly 500 USD but i already purchased 3 licenses with firepower then why i have to purchased these licenses or control and protection licenses again. My platform is ASA 5516-X with firepower and 3 licenses included in it. And also please refer me some videos for management of firesight if u have.
