Cisco FMC - CLI confiugration

[Zeeshan Aziz]

Hi 

I am working with the FMC server but I feel the Web GUI is very much slow. Is there any way to work with the command line or text interface configuration like earlier we had Cisco IPS CLI configuration which made life easy. 

Please any working around or any scripting configuration if you know suggest me to way out of this extremely slow interface Web GUI. I feel this is designed in such a way it is slow which need improvement, because I have seen Todd Lamle coping the slow access of FMC while presenting his book for firepower.

Hi Zeeshan,

There is no way to configure the FMC policies or the FTD/firepower using CLI.

You can however use the RestAPI

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/620/api/REST/Firepower_REST_API_Quick_Start_Guide/About_the_Firepower_REST_API.html

The FMC might be little slow if it has too much of logs and config to handle sometimes. you might want to open a TAC case just to confirm if its really slow due to some technical issue or less resources which can be fixed.

Hope it helps,

Yogesh
