Is firepower2130 firewall suitable for classic licenses？

[marco_myw]

         We plan to deploy two firepower2130 and one vFMC. Since all devices are located in the restricted network, there is no internet access and no proxy Internet service. Can I use the classic license method to activate the device，or the features of smart license be used offline?

Hi,

Yes, you can use PAK based licensing to install them in FMC and get
your units working with required features. If you already have smart
licensing, open a ticket with licensing team from Cisco support portal to
get your PAK files (you need to provide them with UID/Serial).

Thank you for your help.

I checked the <firepower management center configuration guide, version 6.7>. It is mentioned in the document that SLR can be used, which should be the method you mentioned. I plan to open a case and complete the process with the help of TAC.

@Mohammed al Baqari are you sure you can use PAKs with FTD? I am pretty sure those are only Smart license eligible.

The customer can do Permanent License Reservation (PLR); but that requires Cisco approval of an application to be eligible.

Hi Marvin,

I have done this with ASA5508 patch with FTD 6.2.3 using classic licensing
(Pak). Just checked it again.
