Firepower Management Center Stupid Question.

[joseph.williams@atos.net]

I have firepower on my asa 5506-x,

I have the Firepower Management Center working and recognizing the ASA

If I go to Devices>Device Management>(my device) and then choose troubleshoot, and then go to advance troubleshooting, I only get file download. I do not get a packet Tracer (which would be of great help).

I'm new to all the firepower and FMC stuff so...

Am I missing a license (I see protection, Control)

My model reads ASA5506, Version 6.2.0

What am I missing. Is it misconfigured (stupid me?)

Help???

Thanks

Joe

I thought you had to have 6.x or higher, but I went and checked an FTD module on an ASA that I upgraded last week to 6.4.0.7 and it's still not an option.  I have an ASA 5525 with FTD modules.  Maybe it is ASA model-dependent?  Anyone know?

Below is from Cisco documentation, not sure how accurate or up to date it is.

The information in this document is based on these software versions:

• ASA5515-X that runs FTD software 6.1.0
• FPR4110 that runs FTD software 6.2.2
• FS4000 that runs Firepower Management Center (FMC) software 6.2.2

You mention "ASA with FTD modules". There's no such configuration.

There are:

1. ASA with Firepower service module. That runs ASA software and the service module is an added in software module. Packet-tracer from FMC is not supported on these.

2. ASA with FTD. The appliance runs the integrated Firepower Threat Defense image. Packet-tracer IS supported on these.

Thanks Marvin.  We have ASA with Firepower service module then which explains the lack of packet tracer in FMC.
