Cisco Firepower- Initial Device Setup FTD/FMC/FDM

In this series, we look at a typical Brach/campus use-case of NGFW Firepower.

In this video, we look at onboarding the FTDs to FMC and FDM.
i.e we explore both the Firepower Management Center & Firepower device Manager use-cases

If anyone follows along, when you get to 31:14 (adding the two FTD to FMC), make sure the FTD is <= the FMC version.

If the FTD is a higher version than the FMC—the FMC will fail adding the FTD to the database—and the FMC will give a not very helpful error describing what could be the issue and how to fix the issue

I spent more time trying to google the error, the simple fix was lowering the FTD version. I had to google if versions had to match or be equal, only remember the version number thing because Switch stacks need to be the same version IOS 😂.

Anyways awesome, video. I got through the entire thing following along. I’m going to start video 2 next!

Great tuto.
If you press spacebar, the EULA will roll down page by page (that suks!). By pressing the ENTER key, it rolls line by line (that sucks even more!!!)....
Congrats!!! 👏👏👏

Simply great!!! I am bit confuse between Switch, FTD HA pair and inside/dmz connectivity, could you please help with physical connectivity diagram? Thanks in advance!

Why didn't you just pressed SPACE on the EULA agreement? :)) Really nice tutorial! Very helpful!

[nitinkadam]

when you are switching screen it is zoom in and out
if possible please change it to some simple way as its itching eyes...
else it's really well explained..

Hey Man,

I have set up a stand alone FTD. No FMC to manage it. Would you help me how can I get the real time logs from it. I am struggling with it.

Thanks.
