Note that reimaging results in the loss of all configuration and event data on the appliance. See Restoring
a Firepower System Appliance to Factory Defaults, page 8-1 for more information.
Tip You can migrate specific configuration and event data from a Version 4.10.3 deployment to a Version 5.2
deployment. Then, you can update through a series of procedures to Version 6.0. For more information,
see the Firepower System Migration Guide for Version 5.2.
Supported Capabilities by Firepower Management Center Model
When running Version 6.0, all Firepower Management Centers have similar capabilities, with only a few
model-based restrictions. The following table matches the major capabilities of the system with the
Firepower Management Centers that support those capabilities, assuming you are managing devices that
support those features and have the correct licenses installed and applied.
In addition to the capabilities listed in the table, Firepower Management Center models vary in terms of
how many devices they can manage, how many events they can store, and how many hosts and users they
can monitor. For more information, see the Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide.
Also, keep in mind that although you can use any model of Firepower Management Center running
Version 6.0 of the system to manage any Version 6.0 device, many system capabilities are limited by the
device model. For more information, see Supported Capabilities by Managed Device Model, page 1-7.
