Does fireSIGHT only have vmware image available?

[Machi Ma]

Hello,


Does fireSIGHT only have vmware image available?  Is it have another virtualization platform support such as Citrix? or it have installation package available?

Thanks!

It is only available for and supported on VMware ESXi. 5.1 and 5.5 specifically as of this time.

One guy had posted trying and failing to get it to run properly even on ESXi 6.0, much less any other virtualization platform.

I've had several customers request Hyper-V support and have passed it on to Cisco over the past year without any luck so far.

You can run on the free version of ESXi if that helps.

So how can easy to manage Firepower via GUI without FireSIGHT setup?  

[Marvin Rhoads]

A single FirePOWER module with version 6.0 software can be managed via ASDM if the ASA also has 9.4(1) or later software.

Otherwise you need FireSIGHT / FirePOWER Management center running on VMware (or an appliance).

Looks sounds good.  After google I found some guy have some experience to operate via ASDM

But could find official manual by CISCO.  Did anyone have?  I am using soft firepower at 5555-X.

Thanks!

Managing with ASDM is also known as "local management".
