Features
The Cisco Firepower 4100 series security appliance is a standalone modular security services platform. It is
capable of running multiple security services simultaneously and so is targeted at the data center as a
multiservice platform. The series includes the Firepower 4110, 4120, 4140, and 4150. See Product ID Numbers,
on page 29 for a list of the product IDs (PIDs) associated with the 4100 series.
The Firepower 4100 series supports Cisco Firepower Threat Defense, Cisco Firepower eXtensible Operating
System (FXOS), and Cisco ASA software. See Cisco Firepower 4100/9300 FXOS Compatibility, which lists
software and hardware compatibility information for the Firepower 4100 series.

RJ-45 Console Port
The Firepower 4100 has a standard RJ-45 console port. You can use the CLI to configure your Firepower
4100 through the RJ-45 serial console port by using a terminal server or a terminal emulation program
on a computer.
The RJ-45 (8P8C) port supports RS-232 signaling to an internal UART controller. The console port does
not have any hardware flow control, and does not support a remote dial-in modem. The baud rate is 9600.
You can use the standard cable found in your accessory kit to convert the RJ-45 to DB-9 if necessary.
Type A USB Port
You can use the external USB Type A port to attach a data storage device. The external USB drive
identifier is disk1:. The USB Type A port supports the following:
• Hot swapping
• USB drive formatted with FAT32
• Boot kick-start image from the Supervisor ROMMON for discovery recovery purposes
• Copy files to and from workspace:/ and volatile:/ within local-mgmt. The most relevant files are:
• Core files
• Ethanalyzer packet captures
• Tech-support files
• Security module log files
• Platform bundle image upload using download image usbA:
The USB Type A port does not support Cisco Secure Package (CSP) image upload.
Network Ports
The Firepower 4100 chassis has eight fixed ports that require 1-Gb/10-Gb SFP/SFP+ transceivers (fiber
or copper). They are numbered from left to right starting with 1 and are named Ethernet 1/1 through
Ethernet 1/8. The 4100 also has two network module slots that support different numbers of ports
depending on the network module. See Network Modules, on page 11 for the supported network modules.
See for Supported SFP/SFP+ and QSFP Transceivers, on page 24 the list of supported transceivers.
Each port has LEDs that represent link/activity status.
Management Port
The Firepower 4100 chassis has a management port that requires a 1-Gb fiber or copper SFP.

Note
10Fan module 69
The power switch is located to the left of power supply module 1 on the rear of the chassis. It is a toggle
switch that controls power to the system. If the power switch is in standby position, only the 3.3-V standby
power is enabled from the power supply module and the 12-V main power is OFF. When the switch is in the
ON position, the 12-V main power is turned on and the system boots.
You can shut down the chassis in one of two ways:
• Perform a graceful shutdown using the shutdown commands (see the FXOS CLI Configuration Guide
for the procedure). This may take several minutes to complete. Then toggle the power switch to the OFF
position. The power LED changes from solid green to off immediately.
If you move the power switch to the OFF position before the shutdown command
sequence is complete or if you remove the system power cords before the graceful
shutdown is complete, disk corruption can occur.

• Toggle the power switch to the OFF position. The power LED changes from solid green to off.
After removing power from the chassis either by moving the power switch to OFF or unplugging the power
cord, wait at least 10 seconds before turning power back ON.
Note
Network Modules
The Firepower 4100 contains two network module slots that provide optical or electrical network interfaces.
Network modules are optional, removable I/O modules that provide either additional ports or different interface
types (1/10/40 Gb). The Firepower network modules plug into the chassis on the front panel.

10-Gb Network Module
The following figure shows the front panel of the 10-Gb network module (FPR4K-NM-8X10G). The
FPR4K-NM-8X10G is a single-wide module that supports hot swapping. The eight ports are numbered from
top to bottom, left to right.
Make sure you have the correct firmware package and software version installed to support this network
module. For instructions on how to verify your firmware package version and to upgrade the firmware if
necessary, see the Cisco Firepower 4100/9300 FXOS Firmware Upgrade Guide. See Cisco Firepower 4100/9300
FXOS Compatibility for the software compatibility matrix.
Note
The FPR4K-NM-8X10G is NEBS-compliant.
Note
You can fit four copper SFPs in either the top row of ports or the bottom row of ports. Both rows cannot be
populated at the same time, because of the port row spacing.

Overview
40-Gb Network Module

Hardware Bypass Network Modules
Hardware bypass (also known as fail-to-wire) is a physical layer (Layer 1) bypass that allows paired interfaces
to go into bypass mode so that the hardware forwards packets between these port pairs without software
intervention. Hardware bypass provides network connectivity when there are software or hardware failures.
Hardware bypass is useful on ports where the Firepower security appliance is only monitoring or logging
traffic. The hardware bypass network modules have an optical switch that is capable of connecting the two
ports when needed. The hardware bypass network modules have built-in SFPs.
Hardware bypass is supported only on a fixed set of ports. You can pair Port 1 with Port 2, Port 3 with Port
4, but you cannot pair Port 1 with Port 4 for example.
• FTW Ports can be used as normal ports in routed mode (not only inline NGIPS functionality).
• FTW Ports can be used to form port-channels across different network modules on the same firewall.
Note
Hardware bypass is only supported in inline mode. Also, hardware bypass support depends on your software
application.
Note
When the appliance switches from normal operation to hardware bypass or from hardware bypass back to
normal operation, traffic may be interrupted for several seconds. A number of factors can affect the length of
the interruption; for example, behavior of the optical link partner such as how it handles link faults and
debounce timing; spanning tree protocol convergence; dynamic routing protocol convergence; and so on.
During this time, you may experience dropped connections.
Note
There are three configuration options for hardware bypass network modules:
• Passive interfaces—Connection to a single port.
For each network segment you want to monitor passively, connect the cables to one interface. This is
how the nonhardware bypass network modules operate.
•Inline interfaces—Connection to any two like ports (10 Gb to 10 Gb for example) on one network module,
across network modules, or fixed ports.
For each network segment you want to monitor inline, connect the cables to pairs of interfaces.
• Inline with hardware bypass interfaces—Connection of a hardware bypass paired set.
For each network segment that you want to configure inline with fail-open, connect the cables to the
paired interface set.
For the 40-Gb network module, you connect the two ports to form a paired set. For the 1/10-Gb network
modules, you connect the top port to the bottom port to form a hardware bypass paired set. This allows
traffic to flow even if the security appliance fails or loses power.

Overview
Hardware Bypass Network Modules

If you have an inline interface set with a mix of hardware bypass and nonhardware bypass interfaces, you
cannot enable hardware bypass on this inline interface set. You can only enable hardware bypass on an inline
interface set if all the pairs in the inline set are valid hardware bypass pairs.
Note

module.

module. For instructions on how to verify your firmware package version and to upgrade the firmware if
necessary, see the Cisco Firepower 4100/9300 FXOS Firmware Upgrade Guide. See Cisco Firepower 4100/9300
