CHAPTER 4
Firepower Threat Defense Deployment with FDM
Is This Chapter for You?
This chapter explains how to complete the initial set up and configuration of your Firepower Threat Defense
(FTD) device using the Firepower Device Manager (FDM) web-based device setup wizard.
FDM lets you configure the basic features of the software that are most commonly used for small networks.
It is especially designed for networks that include a single device or just a few, where you do not want to use
a high-powered multiple-device manager to control a large network containing many FDM devices.
If you are managing large numbers of devices, or if you want to use the more complex features and
configurations that FTD allows, use the Firepower Management Center (FMC) instead.
The Firepower 1100 Series 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.
Note
The Firepower 1100 runs an underlying operating system called the Firepower eXtensible Operating System
(FXOS). The Firepower 1100 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 1100 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.
