CHAPTER 1
Which Operating System and Manager is Right
for You?
Your hardware platform can run one of two operating systems. For each operating system, you have a choice
of managers. This chapter explains the operating system and manager choices.
•Operating Systems, on page 1
•Managers, on page 1
Operating Systems
You can use either ASA or Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) operating systems on your hardware platform:
• ASA—The ASA is a traditional, advanced stateful firewall and VPN concentrator.
You may want to use the ASA if you do not need the advanced capabilities of the FTD, or if you need
an ASA-only feature that is not yet available on the FTD. Cisco provides ASA-to-FTD migration tools
to help you convert your ASA to an FTD if you start with ASA and later reimage to FTD.
• FTD—FTD, also known as Firepower NGFW, is a next-generation firewall that combines an advanced
stateful firewall, VPN concentrator, and next generation IPS. In other words, the FTD takes the best of
ASA functionality and combines it with the best next-generation firewall and IPS functionality.
We recommend using the FTD over the ASA because it contains most of the major functionality of the
ASA, plus additional next generation firewall and IPS functionality.
To reimage between the ASA and the FTD, see Reimage the Cisco ASA or Firepower Threat Defense Device.
Managers
The FTD and ASA support multiple managers.

FTD Managers
Table 1: FTD Managers
DescriptionManager
FDM is a web-based, simplified, on-device manager. Because it is simplified, some
FTD features are not supported using FDM. You should use FDM if you are only
managing a small number of devices and don't need a multi-device manager.
Both FDM and CDO can discover the configuration on the firewall, so you
can use FDM and CDO to manage the same firewall. FMC is not compatible
with other managers.
Note
To get started with FDM, see Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with FDM, on
page 61.
Firepower Device Manager (FDM)
CDO is a simplified, cloud-based multi-device manager. Because it is simplified, some
FTD features are not supported using CDO. You should use CDO if you want a
multi-device manager that offers a simplified management experience (similar to FDM).
And because CDO is cloud-based, there is no overhead of running CDO on your own
servers. CDO also manages other security devices, such as ASAs, so you can use a
single manager for all of your security devices.
In 6.7 and later, CDO offers Low Touch Provisioning that lets branch offices plug in
their hardware and leave it alone: the firewall will automtically register with CDO.
Both FDM and CDO can discover the configuration on the firewall, so you
can use FDM and CDO to manage the same firewall. FMC is not compatible
with other managers.
Note
To get started with CDO low-touch provisioning, see Firepower Threat Defense
Deployment with CDO and Low-Touch Provisioning, on page 5.
To get started with CDO provisioning, see Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with
CDO, on page 23.
Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO)
FMC is a powerful, web-based, multi-device manager that runs on its own server
hardware, or as a virtual device on a hypervisor. You should use FMC if you want a
multi-device manager, and you require all features on the FTD. FMC also provides
powerful analysis and monitoring of traffic and events.
In 6.7 and later, FMC can manage FTDs from the outside (or other data) interface instead
of from the standard Management interface. This feature is useful for remote branch
deployments.
FMC is not compatible with other managers because the FMC owns the FTD
configuration, and you are not allowed to configure the FTD directly,
bypassing the FMC.
Note
To get started with FMC on the Management network, see Firepower Threat Defense
Deployment with FMC, on page 87.
To get started with FMC on a remote network, see Firepower Threat Defense Deployment
with a Remote FMC, on page 123.

FTD Managers
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

DescriptionManager
The FTD REST API lets you automate direct configuration of the FTD. This API is
compatible with FDM and CDO use because they can both discover the configuration
on the firewall. You cannot use this API if you are managing the FTD using FMC.
The FTD REST API is not covered in this guide. For more information, see the FTD
REST API guide.
FTD REST API
The FMC REST API lets you automate configuration of FMC policies that can then be
applied to managed FTDs. This API does not manage an FTD directly.
The FMC REST API is not covered in this guide. For more information, see the FMC
REST API guide.
FMC REST API
ASA Managers
Table 2: ASA Managers
DescriptionManager
ASDM is a Java-based, on-device manager that provides full ASA functionality. You
should use ASDM if you prefer using a GUI over the CLI, and you only need to manage
a small number of ASAs. ASDM can discover the configuration on the firewall, so you
can also use the CLI, CDO, or CSM with ASDM.
To get started with ASDM, see ASA Deployment with ASDM, on page 159.
Adaptive Security Device Manager
(ASDM)
You should use the ASA CLI if you prefer CLIs over GUIs.
The CLI is not covered in this guide. For more information, see the ASA configuration
guides.
CLI
CDO is a simplified, cloud-based multi-device manager. Because it is simplified, some
ASA features are not supported using CDO. You should use CDO if you want a
multi-device manager that offers a simplified management experience. And because
CDO is cloud-based, there is no overhead of running CDO on your own servers. CDO
also manages other security devices, such as FTDs, so you can use a single manager
for all of your security devices. CDO can discover the configuration on the firewall, so
you can also use the CLI or ASDM.
CDO is not covered in this guide. To get started with CDO, see the CDO home page.
Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO)
CSM is a powerful, multi-device manager that runs on its own server hardware. You
should use CSM if you need to manage large numbers of ASAs. CSM can discover the
configuration on the firewall, so you can also use the CLI or ASDM. CSM does not
support managing FTDs.
CSM is not covered in this guide. For more information, see the CSM user guide.

CHAPTER 2
Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with CDO
and Low-Touch Provisioning
Is This Chapter for You?
Low-Touch Provisioning (LTP) simplifies and automates the onboarding of new Firepower Threat Defense
(FTD) devices to Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO). LTP streamlines the deployment of new Firepower
devices by allowing network administrators to deliver the devices directly to a branch office, add the devices
to the CDO cloud-based device manager, and then manage the devices after the FTD device successfully
connects to the Cisco Cloud.
This chapter explains how to onboard your Firepower devices to CDO using low-touch provisioning. CDO
is a cloud-based multi-device manager that facilitates management of security policies in highly distributed
environments to achieve consistent policy implementation. CDO helps you optimize your security policies
by identifying inconsistencies with them and by giving you tools to fix them. CDO gives you ways to share
objects and policies, as well as make configuration templates, to promote policy consistency across devices.
This feature requires Firepower version 6.7 or later.
Note
This document assumes the Firepower 1010 hardware has a pre-installed FTD image on it. The Firepower
1010 hardware can run either FTD software or ASA software. Switching between FTD and ASA requires
you to reimage the device. See Reimage the Cisco ASA or Firepower Threat Defense Device.
The Firepower 1010 runs an underlying operating system called the Firepower eXtensible Operating System
(FXOS). The Firepower 1010 does not support the FXOS Firepower Chassis Manager; only a limited CLI is
supported for troubleshooting purposes. See the FXOS troubleshooting guide for more information.
Privacy Collection Statement—The Firepower 1010 Series does not require or actively collect
personally-identifiable information. However, you can use personally-identifiable information in the
configuration, for example for usernames. In this case, an administrator might be able to see this information
when working with the configuration or when using SNMP.

Branch Office Installation
After you receive the FTD from your corporate IT department, you need to record the firewall's serial number
and send it to the CDO administrator. Outline a communication plan for the onboarding process. Include any
key tasks to be completed and provide points of contact for each item.
Then, you need to cable and power on the firewall so that it has internet access from the outside interface.
The CDO administrator can then complete the onboarding process.
You can watch this video to see how a Branch employee onboards a firewall using CDO and low-touch
provisioning.
Tip
Provide the Firewall Serial Number to the Central Administrator
Before you rack the firewall or discard the shipping box, verify that your firewall can be deployabled using
low-touch provisioning, and record the serial number so you can coordinate with the central adminstrator.
This procedure assumes you are working with a new firewall running FTD Version 6.7 or later.
Note
Procedure
Step 1 Unpack the chassis and chassis components.

Take inventory of your firewall and packaging before you connect any cables or power on the firewall. You
should also familiarize yourself with the chassis layout, components, and LEDs.
Step 2 Verify that the software version is 6.7 or later by checking the product ID (PID) on the shipping box.
The cardboard box in which the firewall was shipped should have a plain white sticker on it that indicates the
shipped version of software (6.7 or later).
The PID should be similar to this example of a Firepower 1010 PID: SF-F1K-TD6.7-K9.
Step 3 Record the firewall's serial number.
The serial number of the firewall can be found on the shipping box. It can also be found on a sticker on the
on the bottom of the firewall chassis.
Step 4 Send the firewall serial number to the CDO network administrator at your IT department/central headquarters.
Your network administrator needs your firewall serial number to facilitate low-touch provisioning, connect
to the firewall, and configure it remotely.
Communicate with the CDO administrator to develop an onboarding timeline.
Cable the Device
This topic describes the how to connect the Firepower 1010 to your network so that it can be managed remotely
by a CDO administrator.
• If you received a Firepower firewall at your branch office and your job is to plug it in to your network,
watch this video.
The video describes your Firepower device and the LED sequences on the device that indicate the device's
status. If you need to, you'll be able to confirm the device's status with your IT department just by looking
at the LEDs.
