Symptoms
Hardware based devices have, from time to time, BIOS, UEFI or firmware updates, which Cisco calls - for historical purposes - "ROMMON". While there is always an accompanying upgrade guide, there is no reference whatsoever for the ASA-x while running as FTD/sensor mode. This article will add this missing link, in the event anyone ever has to follow this process - as I just did. The below was tested successfully on a 5506-X lab device running FTD 6.2.3.6, managed by a FMC.
Diagnosis
As per "Cisco ASA Series General Operations CLI Configuration Guide, 9.5" document, section "Chapter: Software and Configurations", subsection "Upgrade the ROMMON Image (5506-x, 5508-x, and 5516-x)" [1], the instructions points the admin to upload the new ROMMON code to the device and run the upgrade rommon command. While the firmware revision verification and the file transfer commands can be achieved using the FTD CLI (with a minor command line adjustment for file transfer), there is no such upgrade command. As such, you now may feel stuck.
[1] https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa95/configuration/general/asa-95-general-config/admin-swconfig.html#task_90917D0EBAC2427487F6F51D21ABC235
Solution
In order to perform the upgrade, the CLI needs to be changed from the default FTD mode to the Diagnostic mode. This is done with the use of command system support diagnostic-cli. This will bring back our old familiar Cisco CLI, where you can move up to the privileged mode with enable command. At this point, you are back in the process, able to perform the last required upgrade command, upgrade rommon. It will verify the file integrity, signature, confirm the configuration, and ask to reload it. The device will then reload twice, one to read the new code, then another to apply the new code, and finally reload to bring back the FTD alive.
On the 5506-X, this process took about 10 minutes. See below how it looks like.

I know this is sort of late, but let me share some $.02.
I had a few issues with internal systems being accessed from the outside world. Turns out TAC told me”because you have absolutely everything configured and active, well over 10k active IDS rules, and you are also doing SSL inspection, your max throughout will be limited to less than 3Mbps”.
So watch out for the Fort Knox type of config. Looks great on paper but it can definitively hog your device to death.
I have balanced my rules to the point I have as much active and I can peak my 150Mbps up/down traffic with some spare change.
Enjoy your new toy ;)

I learned a few new things with this issue. 1. I was trying to achieve what is called "NAT divert". Seems this is pretty wide used and known - now that I know its correct name. 2. The any keyword cannot be really used all the time, so the need for a World object was spot on. 3. My ACL was close but got no cigar. For the NAT divert to work, I had to use keyword interface, and it had to be of type dynamic, not static, which by the end of the day, makes proper sense: nat (Inside-VLANx,Outside) source dynamic any interface destination static World NTP-Server service udp-123-ntp udp-123-ntp 4. With the rule added, the ASA began redirecting traffic as expected, with a side effect: it began to proxy-arp every empty IP address for this segment. To circumvent that (and fix Cisco ISE's IP address check during initialization time - hint, hint!), a system option command to the rescue: sysopt noproxyarp Inside-VLANx So there we have it. Hope this saves others some time in the future.

Apart of me finding out that using the internal object "any" makes the rule not even be accepted as valid by the ASA, but creating an object named "World" as network 0/0 allows the rule to be added, it still does not work. asa(config)# nat (Inside-VLANx,Outside) source static Inside-VLANx Inside-VLANx destination static any NTP-Server service udp-123-ntp udp-123-ntp net-to-net no-proxy-arp ERROR: any doesn't match an existing object or object-group asa(config)# object network World asa(config-network-object)# subnet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 asa(config-network-object)# exit asa(config)# nat (Inside-VLANx,Outside) source static Inside-VLANx Inside-VLANx destination static World NTP-Server service udp-123-ntp udp-123-ntp net-to-net no-proxy-arp asa(config)# _ Packet tracer says traffic was allowed, but I cannot get a response back from the NTP server - doesn't matter if NTP server is on the same or on a different subnet.

Marvin, I would still like the devices I cannot change NTP servers to talk to a real NTP server. By putting in an ACL, servers with hardcoded entries would not get their clocks synchronized. The other option I tried was to force any DNS request to *.ntp.org to point at my internal NTP. While this had a positive effect on some devices, others still had hardcoded IP addresses or hostnames outside the *.ntp.org domain. And then there is the management piece of the DNS: this is a network wide change vs a one single subnet - unless I turn on a dedicated DNS box just for that. Thanks for your thoughts though.

Hello all. Is there any way I can configure my ASA to keep internal all NTP traffic from a certain subnet? There are embedded devices and appliances on this network where NTP configurations are not available and the NTP servers are randomly chosen via the NTP pool or to whichever NTP server the vendor decided to hard-coded. Last I saw I had over 50 different IP addresses of public NTP servers, so making a list of them would be too cumbersome to maintain. While the below does not work, it sort of gives an idea of what I am trying to achieve: nat (Inside-VLANx,Outside) source static Inside-VLANx Inside-VLANx destination static any NTP-Server service udp-123-ntp udp-123-ntp net-to-net no-proxy-arp Any suggestions?

I know this is a really old topic, but seems there are no many suggestions around when it comes to this subject.
The static IP address reservation with VRF is a bit different from a non-VRF aware device, but it makes perfect sense after you do it once. On a non-VRF device, you can create as many pools you want, including a pool for each of your static IP address assignments - naming them as you wish so your configuration is clean and pretty.
On a VRF device, you must enter the hardware address/client info under the VRF aware pool itself. Now, the catch is: you can't exclude a range of IP addresses and assign one of the excluded IP to a host.
So using the original, 4 year old example, here is how his setup would have been done:
ip vrf OFFICE
rd 200:2
route-target export 200:2
route-target import 200:2
!
ip dhcp excluded-address vrf OFFICE 10.10.27.1 10.10.27.4
ip dhcp excluded-address vrf OFFICE 10.10.27.6 10.10.27.15
!
ip dhcp pool OFFICE
vrf OFFICE
network 10.10.27.0 255.255.255.192
default-router 10.10.27.1
dns-server 10.10.1.1 10.10.1.2
domain-name foo.com
host 10.10.27.5 client-identifier 01xx.xxxx.xxxx.xx
And there you have it. You won't have its name anywhere on the configuration, but you will achieve the final result of a static IP address assigned under a DHCP attached to a VRF interface.
May this help the next person Googling around...

I'm still working with TAC on this. So far, nothing moving anywhere.
However, I was pointed to this topic today - https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12959476/5506-x-firepower-blocks-traffic-prior-policy-processing-and-does-not-record
Seems this is an old issue crippling the product. Also seems bigger ASAs are not seeing much impact, which tends to tell me the 5506 has the SSL Inspection feature but it cannot handle traffic of a single user.

Well, yes, it works with traditional NAT, including the manual IP address assignment. Guess I did not researched long enough, but it explains why it worked on other scenarios (with VRFs) but not on this scenario (without VRFs):
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/network-address-translation-nat/26704-nat-faq-00.html
Q. What is NAT NVI?
A. NVI stands for NAT Virtual Interface. It allows NAT to translate between two different VRFs. This solution should be used in lieu of Network Address Translation on a Stick.
Q. Should NAT NVI be used when NATting between an interface in global and an interface in a VRF?
A. Cisco recommends that you use legacy NAT for VRF to global NAT (ip nat inside/out) and between interfaces in the same VRF. NVI is used for NAT between different VRFs.
Anyway, back to the drawing board. Appreciated your time lending a fresh set of eyes.

Uhm, not really able to get the config in full. Any partition you are looking in particular?
Now, I have to mention that this used to work until the valid IP address was moved off the physical Gi0/0 interface to the VLAN interface. The NAT address was then tied to this interface as of
ip nat source list nat - list interface Gi0/0 overload
, however now that it should go out using its own static, public address, doesn't work anymore. But that made me think, "what if...", and I did change the NAT to
ip nat source list nat-list interface Vlan999 overload
and guess what, it "works". Leaves out to the wild with the router VLAN interface IP address and not with my desired IP address, but works.
So maybe my follow up question to my own questions are, can't NAT be assigned to an unnumbered interface?

I have a router running IOS 15 on the public Internet which I want to remotely manage using a point to point IPSec tunnel. This tunnel was created just fine, I can log on to the router, I can reach the devices behind this router, any access to behind this router works just fine. I can't, however, go back out on the public Internet while connected via this IPSec tunnel. My NAT configuration attempts so far got me a little frustrated, with three crashinfo files created recently...
The Internet facing interface is set as ip unnumbered, with the valid, public IP address on a VLAN interface. The VLAN is part of a ZBW zone labeled LAN. The Internet interface is on the WAN zone. My IPSec tunnel gives me a 192.168.1.x/24 IP address on a Virtual-Access interface, configured on a VPN zone. As far as I can tell, there are no blocks caused by the ZBW. All these interfaces have an ip nat enable on them.
The NAT is pretty straightforward: one NAT pool with a single, valid IP address, and one overload entry for the tunnel IP range list to the NAT pool. I can see nat translations on the NVI output, but the access don't really get out - or back to the virtual interface. According to the router, packets are looped.

Monitor All;
Inspection Exception - High (to downgrade applications listed as Very High risk)
Inspection Exception - Med ( to downgrade applications listed as Very High/High risk)
Inspection Exception - Low ( to downgrade applications listed as Very High/High/Medium risk)
Inspection Very High risk (with applications listed as Very High risk)
Inspection High/Medium risk (with applications listed as High/Medium risk)
Inspection Low risk (with applications listed as Low risk)
Inspection Very Low risk (with applications listed as Very Low risk)
Default Action: Maximum Security
Similar on the SSL policies:
Monitor All;
Do not decrypt (Manual sites)
Do not decrypt ( Subject DN)
Re-Sign Very High/High risk sites
Default action: Do not decrypt
And I can see the classification happening, with many sites on the Medium and lower risks still being inaccessible with a test network of one ASA and two clients.

I'm on the same boat too, however with a slightly different setup for my lab. A 5506-X ASA 9.7(1) and FirePower 6.2.0.1. The HTTPS performance is mediocre past the SFR requests to ASA for packets to be dropped. Doesn't matter if the ASA+FP is managed locally via ASDM+IDM, or via FMC.
Now, I noticed some of my Access Control Policies were a little too aggressive. For "Very High Risk" sites I made a "Maximum Security" IPS policy, for "High and Medium Risk" sites, a "Security over Connection" IPS policy, and so on. I had to make exception rules prior to those in order to lower specific higher risk sites to a lower IPS policy. That helped with a few packets being blocked for public services, ie Facebook, Twitter, Apple AppStore and Amazon Videos, however other sites classified as "Low Risk" or even Very Low Risk were still being dropped.
Then there were a few sites I had to turn SSL inspection off. Sourcefire was such site I added a new DN object, otherwise the appliance would fail to update their own GeoLocation and Rules. My VMWare Horizon portal was too such a location I had to make a network object exception as the tunnel would not be validated because of the man-in-the-middle PKI. Even while I was only actively re-signing Very High and High Risk sites, and leaving everything else go their merry way.
I have a TAC open, will see what Cisco replies back from this. Had to turn SSL Inspection off in order to open the TAC page to update my cases... However I'm still up to find out more about it from any fronts.
