Cisco FPR – Re-image from FTD to ASA Code
KB ID 0001766 Problem Note: This procedure is to re-image a Cisco Firepower device from FTD to ASA code, (in this example a Cisco FPR 1010). Why would you want to do this? Well to be frank FTD is bobbins, so if you have a device running FTD code you might want to ‘convert’ it to ASA code. If you tried to do this with an older firewall (ASA 5500-X) then you needed to go to Cisco TAC and try and get them to give you an...
Cisco FTD Deploy AnyConnect (from FDM)
KB ID 0001682 Problem In this article I will focus on ‘Remote Access’ VPN, which for Cisco FTD means using the AnyConnect client. Ive spent years deploying this solution for ASA so it’s a product I know well. As with all things Cisco, there are a couple of things that could trip you up. Let’s get them out of the way first. If you are used to AnyConnect then you probably have the client software. It’s the...
Cisco Firepower 1010 Licensing
KB ID 0001672 Problem So we have unboxed and setup our Firepower 1010 device, simply logging into the ASDM fires off warnings that it’s only running DES and I need to register the unit go get any decent level of encryption, (seriously why is 3DES still an ‘add on’ licence, who is still doing 56bit encryption!) So let’s get is registered and licenced. Solution The ‘Licence Envelope’ in the box is...
Cisco ASA Site To Site VPN IKEv1 “Using CLI”
Do the same from ASDM KB ID 0000050 Problem Note: This is for Cisco ASA 5500, 5500-x, and Cisco Firepower devices running ASA Code. Note: This is quite an OLD POST, only use these instructions if you need to create a VPN tunnel that uses IKEv1, (i.e. The other end is not a Cisco ASA, or it’s a Cisco ASA running code older than 8.4). You can still use an IKEv1 tunnel of course, so this article is still valid, it’s just...
Cisco ASA AnyConnect VPN ‘Using ASDM’
KB ID 0000069 Problem Note: This is for Cisco ASA 5500, 5500-x, and Cisco Firepower devices running ASA Code. Below is a walk through for setting up a client to gateway VPN Tunnel using a Cisco Firepower ASA appliance. This was done via the ASDM console. The video was shot with ASA version 9.13(1) and ASDM 7.13(1). Suggestion: If you are setting this up for the first time, I would suggest setting it up to use the ASA’s LOCAL...
