Does Firepower Device Manager support HA configuration?

[wangrui]

Hi,

Just wondering if I can configure HA in Firepower Device Manager, the on-box management interface? Customer bought two Firepower 2110 without FMC, still on the way.

I have to use on-box management, but I couldn't find the menu to configure HA in Firepower device manager on my lab ASA5515-X FTD.

It doesn't mention the HA configuration in Firepower device manager configuration guide.

Does it mean we have to use FMC to configure HA, FDM doesn't support it? Thanks!

Looks like not, it doesn't even support port redundancy, such as Port-channel. Can't find any good info about HA support for FP on box Device manager.

Yes, confirmed from a Cisco live doc, and it looks like doesn't support additional management user in the GUI. I was not able to add another user for GUI management. Only for CLI.

Any chance you share link to that Cisco live doc you've mentioned. Thanks.

It seems that from version 6.3.0 and on, it is supported to configure HA from FDM.
