Before you begin
• Ensure that the management center can reach the Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM) server at
tools.cisco.com:443.
• Make sure the management center has established a connection with an NTP server. During registration,
a key exchange occurs between the NTP server and the Cisco Smart Software Manager, so time must be
in sync for proper registration.
If you are deploying the threat defense on a Firepower 4100/9300 chassis, you must configure NTP on
the firewall chassis using the same NTP server for the chassis as for the management center.
