How to deploy Cisco Firepower Management Center?

[victormanuelsolis]

Hello,

I'm a little confused with this feature or manager, I need to know how can use the Cisco Firepower Mgmt Center to manage my firewalls, the main reason is I need to add url filters on the FP or can I add this kind of filters via CLI?

Thanks in advance

First you need to register FTD with FMC (so FTD Managed by FMC)

Hello, where can I connect to to FTD? the only option I see is 

admin# connect fxos
Configuring session.
.
Connecting to FXOS.
...

firepower-2130# connect
asa Connect to ASA Application CLI
local-mgmt Connect to Local Management CLI

@victormanuelsolis it looks like your FPR2130 is running the ASA image not FTD, you would need to reimage the device with the FTD image, you can then connect to the FMC.

As mentioned by Rob, you need to run Firepower software on your FTD for it to be managed by FMC.

If you do not want to re-image the FTD to Firepower, and you do not need to use URL reputation features, you could look into using FQDN objects and create access rules based on this.
