Migrating a Standalone ASA to Firepower using Firepower Migration Tool

[rosarra]

a simple question: to migrate an ASA firewall to a Firepower 1120 Threat Defense can I use the automated tool provided by Cisco? I understand that it only works with a Firepower Management Center while our solution is a local managed and we do not intend to purchase an FMC.

thanks for the replies.

Hi @rosarra 

You cannot use the FMT to directly migrate the ASA configuration to FDM, however you could use CDO.

Reference:- https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/migration-tool/migration-guide-CDO/ASA2FTD_Using_CDO/ASA2FTD_with_FP_Migration_Tool_cdo_chapter_011.html

"On-Premise solution (FDM)—If you intend to migrate your ASA configurations to FTD devices and manage them with Firepower Device Manager (FDM), use the cloud-based process in CDO to migrate your ASA configurations. You can then use FDM to manage your configuration."
