Hi,
Would like to have your inputs about how can I connect my branch FTD to my FMC? Typically, I connect my FTD to FMC via the mgmt port of the FTD device however, in my branch office, I don't have any management switch.
If I can deploy a management switch, where should I position it directly to my WAN?
thanks

@fatalXerror since 6.7 you can manage an FTD from the data interface. On the Firewall in front of the FMC configure NAT for the FMC, create a firewall rule to allow inbound tcp/8305 to the FMC from the branch FTDs.

If you do not have special OOB management, you can use Inband to FTD using FMC
how is your branch connectivity over Internet or MPLS ?
check device management basic :
As @Rob Ingram mentioned the Port is important for the FMC to communicate with FTD.

Use WAN interface of FTD to connect to FMC
