Versions of power of fire/Firesource

We just received our new appliances, a pair of 7125 delivered loaded with Sourcefire 7125 3 v5.4.0.1 (build 59).  When I look at the download page, there is also a version 6.0.1 but just for patches. What is the difference between 5,4 and 6.0.1?  We also have the Management Center VM, so will generate the corresponding version.

As it is a brand new deployment, it would be worthwhile to start with 6.0.1? Do I need a TAC case to get the software?

I'd go with 6.0.1.1. You must first upgrade to 6.0. Your management center of the FireSIGHT (pre - 6.0 name) must first be upgraded to 6.0.1.1 (and from 6.0, it becomes Center of management firepower).

The notes state the new features and bugfixes in detail.

  • Fire power User Agent is unable to connect with the power of fire management center

    Hi Cisco supports,

    I have problem with firepower User Agent, when I want to add a power of fire management center agent, then I get the error "cannot connect to the management center of firepower." You can find the error in the attachment! I have already added the User Agent in the CMF.

    My Version of power of fire management centre is 6.0.0.1

    and my 2.3 10 User Agent

    Hello

    You don't need to open it manually. If you have added the CMF officer, then it should be opened by default. What I wanted was to ensure that there is no intermediate firewall between the agent and the CMF.

    You can capture packets on FMC cli and check if traffic reaches here.

  • Power of fire licensing management center

    I'm someone who is confused by the license, I hope someone can clarify this.

    I have a Cisco ASA5506X test setup that has the URL, AMP, IPS key installed via ASDM.

    I downloaded the power of fire. Mgmt Center 6.1.0 VM and tried to connect to the ASA.

    I wanted to use the eval. period of check of FMC.

    However, it seems that the licensing of the ASA does not apply to the CSP. Can I need separate licenses for FMC in addition to those on the SAA or do I have to reinstall these licenses on the CMF?

    You must first register the ASA of CMF (and vice versa) and then apply the CME licenses ASA newly managed.

    Licenses of firepower are linked to the license key (combination of model platform ID and MAC address) of the FMC Manager so you should rehost those you used initially ASDM.

    You can only manage a service module firepower since one - or the CMF-based ASDM - Manager at a time.

  • Power of fire vs NGIPS vs FireSight vs power of fire management center

    I am struggling to understand the distinction between these terms. Is anyone able to help me understand what are the components?

    Firepower is the term that Cisco uses during most of the acquis of Sourcefire products.

    FMC

    Power of fire aka Firesight Management Center aka Defense Center Management Center.
    Power of fire management centre was re-branded twice, its all the same

    Centralized management for devices of firepower (NGIPS, Module of ASA firepower, DFT)

    NGIPS

    Dedicated appliance IPS / IPS component of the solution of firepower (also used on the firepower of ASA and DFT module)

    ASA with power of Fire Services

    ASA with module of software/hardware that is running the services of firepower. (is two different images running on the same box. Traffic is redirected to the module of firepower for Layer 7 inspection)

    FTD

    Power of fire Threat Defense is the new unified combining image Software ASA and firepower into a single image. (not full parity of features to ASA still)

  • Installation of the power of fire

    Hey everybody

    I also ordered the firepower for my 5555-X and recived an SSD and a number of PAK.

    I think I heard somewhere that I need two 120SSD disks, I have one. Is this enough?

    And what is the correct order:

    1 stop/uninstall old IPS

    2. Insert the SSD

    3 reload

    4. install the power of fire

    Thanx

    J.

    5555-X is designed to be used with two SSDS in a RAID 1 array.

    It will work with one but will not have a RAID protection.

    (edit - corrected the Raid type to '1').

  • OpenDNS to power of fire included?

    Hello

    can you please give a clue if OpenDNS feature is included in the software Cisco firepower? Or in other words: does make sense to have the internet to inspect with SourceFire and also configured OpenDNS feature traffic?

    Thank you in advance!

    Kind regards

    David

    Hello David,.

    OpenDNS will certainly help us in our environment. OpenDNS will block all CnC, Malcious, bad reputation, known bad research. This intelligence is based on OpenDNS intelligence and intelligence added via Cisco TALOS, AMP ThreatGrid, etc.

    This helps us in 2 ways,

    1. block all traffic, any port, any protocol, North-South and East-West (not all traffic will be inspected by the power of fire, we would need IPS/IDS spread across network devices).
    2. If the traffic is getting inspected by the power of fire, OpenDNS can mitigate a known threat before that firepower get traffic for inspection

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards

  • Cisco ASA with the power of fire vs Cisco IPS Appliance

    Hello

    Question: is there the functional differences between an ASA with the feature of firepower enabled and power of fire IPS appliances 'pure' (e.g. 7000 and 8000 series IPS Modules)?

    Thank you very much!

    Kind regards

    Hello team,

    The same features except hardware bypass and another should trhougputs. Of course the flow rate will be high for hardwrae devices and it also has the ability to bypass equipment. Apart from that URL and all other filtering the same characteristics.

  • Need help - Cisco ASA with the power of fire

    Hello

    Currently, we use asa 5510 without function of firepower. Our goal is to publish web servers and microsoft lync with reverse proxy method. control internet traffic, apply extensions individual file not to download, management of bandwidth etc.

    Is it possible if we add firepower on asa 5510... Please guide me... Thank you

    Power of fire must be installed on the new series X of the SAA.  5512 x, x 5515, 5525 x, etc.

    If you have a 5510, you probably want a 5512 x with an SSD.  Cisco has beams of firepower include the ASAx with SSD and the license of firepower.

    Adds that you must also Firesight management software, and there is a license bundle of 2 camera for under $ 500 that you can install on VMWare.

    Firepower is not reverse proxy, it's transparent online packages, analysis and filtering by URL / Application / and threat mitigation.

    If you want a reverse proxy, you should look into Microsoft ISA server or a Proxy Server reverse dedicated Web.  Cisco gave its product Web Director, who has done this function.

    You can host Web sites behind a firewall of ASA without proxy reverse.  And the ASA has an inspection of the request for HTTP traffic, responsible for watching HTTP requests.  The firepower to the ASA system also has specific signatures that monitor traffic to the web servers and prevent specific vulnerabilities that are known on those servers, so if that is what you want the Reverse Proxy for, then the power of fire module would probably cover your needs.

    Don't forget that until the next quarter firepower system has no decryption on the box, and you might want to wait that the feature is released and put in place, so that you know what size firewall you need protect your network with the SSL decryption.  I believe that the ASA5512x is testing at 75 Mbps stream decrypted via the fire power module, which is about half of what was before CX, then you could use the sizing numbers CX and extrapolate until Cisco releases official decryption numbers.

  • Power of fire time SYN with Firesight

    Dear,

    My fire power is not synchronized with system for time firesight, firesight is synchronized with an ntp server but firepower is not synchronized, how I can set the clock/NTP in firepower.as I know initial installation, we get an option ntp but now the power of fire is already set up and I get no CLI option to configure NTP

    Thank you

    Adam,

    Allow you to control the 99% of a module of firepower (on SAA) Management Center of firepower (new name for FireSIGHT Management Center for the defence of AKA) or stand-alone unit does, including the definition of the NTP server.

    As indicated in the document, create or modify a strategy of firepower to define time synchronization settings. Save it and deploy it to your devices and they will be updated with this policy.

  • A10-131: unable to find a new version of Power Saver

    I have Toshiba A10-131 and I would like to use one of the latest versions of Toshiba Power Saver (located in Russian). Should I? Where can I download it? In the download section, there are only a few old version.

    Hello

    Well, you can try to check the energy that is installed on the other latest devices. Maybe you can find a newer version. But I can t understand why you want to update the energy saver? You know that if you have installed for the units of the other energy-saving, then you might have some problems. In my opinion if you n t have any problems with you old saving energy, so you shouldn't t make updates.

  • What happens when the power of fire ASA subscription expires?

    What happens when ASA FirePowers subscription expires?

    What happens with the ASA? services continue to work? show an alarm?

    Thank you!

    Jorge

    If fire power module ("sfr") is more associated with a current license, policies applied by the management centre Firesight (CMF) will have no effect and you will not update in the event logs. FMC will warn you that your license (s) is expired assuming that you have a properly applied health strategy.

    The ASA base will continue to operate as usual. The redirection of traffic through service in the sfr module strategy will be largely ineffective.

  • power of fire blocking all traffic

    Hello guys

    Well, I bought cisco asa 5506-x with power module of fire and the license for url filtering, control and AMP... and I'm really lost, I mean im new to these devices
    so I googled how to set up such a device, it works now, but when I redirect traffic to firepower, it blocks all traffic types
    so please guys help me with this thing :/

    Hi Alain.

    I first recommend that you reach a re-seller/Integrator Cisco to get that deployed properly. Make sure you only request a transfer of knowledge too! :)

    Otherwise, you can view the configuration guides:

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/ASA-firepower-services/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html

    You can also configure ASA to redirect traffic to the Sourcefire IDS sensor only in mode. This way don't actually block you all traffic:

    sfr fail-open monitor-only

  • What is the power of fire? is the hardware modules? is a software? is allowed?

    Dear all,

    I am newbie to firepower.

    My client uses ASA 5512-X WITHOUT firepower, they want to use something like function UTM.

    I have googled and find the firepower may be good choice.

    But I didn't not firepower is hardware modules? or software? or I have to buy an additional license?

    THX

    Hello team,

    You can integrate ASA with firepower. Firepower of the hardware and software modules are available. You can integrate the power of light software with ASA 5512.To module manage the fire power modules, you can use Firesight Center (virtual and hardware) management. To manage the power modules of fire, which you need a minimum of Protection and control of license and you need to buy separately to the Cisco team the global license.

    Here are some links for reference.

  • Power of fire threat defense on ASA (features HA)

    Hello

    Soon, we will deploy a pair of ASA5525-x in our data center. I had planned for them to be grouped and executed several contexts. These contexts would be a combination of routed and transparent modes. I also intend to perform the Services of firepower.

    I recently learned that DFT is a unified version of the code of the ASA and code of firepower. Something that I'm still not sure about is whether FTD will allow patterns clusters, multiple and routed/transparent contexts.

    Any who can comment on whether these features are taken in charge and if not, if they are on the roadmap?

    Thank you for your time.

    Clustering - not yet on the 5500-X series. Should be soon though.

    Multiple context - No. Targeted for a future release, but no date hired.

    Routed and transparent - Yes.
