ASA 5525-X FirePower management

[ncfb-awarsame]

We just replaced ASA  IPS Module with FirePower, would it be better to use ASDM or FireSight to manage them? I very much appreciate you, experts-thank you

[Marvin Rhoads]

If you're using the FiirePOWER module, you must use FireSIGHT Management Center to manage it's NGIPS features for the 5525-X platform.

You will still need to use ASDM or CLI to manage the firewall features.

My understanding is that unless your are ready to go completely to a NGFW rule set and approach there will be a period of time where both are needed.
