hi,

is multi-instance/multiple context supported in FTD 2100 series? per link below it only mentioned 4100/9300

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/630/relnotes/firepower-release-notes-630/new_features.html#concept_D3A005FB2B0E45BBBDF5392C4D1DD138

 

 

but per FPR-2100 data sheet in mentioned supported security context. is this running the FTD or ASA OS?

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/firepower-2100-series/datasheet-c78-742473.html

Multi-instance FTD deployment is supported only in Firepower 4100/9300 series.

The multi-context mode is supported only on ASA applications, not FTD.

Please teach me how to operate (convert) Firepower running ASA-OS with FTD (FX-OS).

Could you please clarify the details of this question?  

Do you want to convert or migrate ASA to FTD?

I'm running the ASA-OS on the chassis Firepower 1010.
I would like to to operate FX-OS using this chassis continuingly.
It means that I wouldn't like to move the ASA 5500X to Firepower, but I want to convert an ASA running on Firepower to FTD.

Note: This question is a translation of a post originally posted in Japanese by cja56910tf. The post has been translated into all the languages we have in the community.

In order to convert ASA to FTD, you can follow the steps mentioned in the ASA→FTD: Firepower 1000 or 2100 Appliance Mode.

Can you give us an example configuration for profiling devices with the Cisco ASA in conjunction with Cisco ISE for anyConnect connections on the Cisco ASA?

Hi,

 

ACIDex attributes are mainly for profiling where is not required a special configuration within the ASA.

 

AnyConnect Identity Extensions (ACIDex)

Remote Access Virtual Private Network (VPN) clients represent a special use case for the ISE Profiler.

 

AnyConnect Identity Extensions (ACIDex) is a feature of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client which helps to solve this issue. ACIDex, also referred to as Mobile Posture, allows the AnyConnect VPN client to communicate endpoint attributes to the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) over a remote access VPN connection. The ASA can consume these attributes locally to make policy decisions, but can also relay the attributes in RADIUS to ISE PSNs as Cisco attribute-value (AV) pairs. When ISE receives ACIDex attributes that includes client MAC address(es), the PSN can update the corresponding endpoint in the Profiler database.

 

ACIDex Example.

Further details in the ISE Profiling Design Guide 

Since DDoS attacks may occur from the Internet, we are considering using ASA or Firepower as a DDoS countermeasure device.
Does the machine have such a function in the first place?
Also, if there is a function, it would be helpful if you could teach us about setting examples, parameter values, and tuning points.

Firepower 4100/9300 Series appliances support the deployment of Radware vDP in a Service Chain to protect against DDoS attacks. 

Please review the following links:

Why I'm not seeing any device in order to generate a Troubleshooting file from my Firepower devices?

 

Note: This question is a translation of a post originally created in Chinese by alina_xiao , It has been translated by Cisco Community to share the inquiry and its solution in different languages.

In order to generate the Troubleshooting file of your firepower devices, navigate in your FMC to System > Health > Monitor > Select Appliance within the list displayed > Generate Troubleshooting Files.
If you do not see any devices listed below you must probably need to click on the pie chart. Will depend on the health status of your devices from where you can click the pie chart portion to display them.
Green - Health status
Yellow – Appliances with some Warnings
Red – Appliances with Errors
Blue – Disabled Appliances

Thanks for hosting this event. How can I manage my firepower devices?

 

Note: This question is a translation of a post originally created in Chinese by W2493455280 It has been translated by Cisco Community to share the inquiry and its solution in different languages.

You have two different options in order to manage your FTD, it can be locally using the Firepower Device Manager (FDM) or through the Firepower Management Center (FMC).
In order to see how to register the FTD within the FMC see next video with further details.

Hi team!

How can I take packet captures in the FTD? I’m familiar with the ASA captures however seems that those commands are not supported by the FTD.

Thanks
