Hi,

@aprata- Do you have any info regarding multi-instance support on FPR3100 series? According to Andrew's blog, it supports.

Still, the data sheet lacks the 'multi-instance' capability (like fpr4100 series data sheet provides).

Furthermore, if you look into 'getting started guide for FPR3100 series', you'll find that it doesn't support Firepower Chassis Manager...

BR,

Octavian

@Octavian Szolga multi-instance will be supported in a later release than the initial 7.1 required for the 3100 series.

They will be managed in appliance mode only (no FCM) so, as you can imagine, some software features will need to be developed to support multi-instance without FCM.

Thank you Marvin,

@Octavian Szolga, Marvin is correct, MI support will be added in a subsequent software release. However, it may take some time for it to come in, a few months.
