Cisco FMC (FTD)

Starting from version 4.3, IP Fabric collects zone firewall-related data for Cisco Firepower devices only via the Cisco FMC API. Cisco Firepower devices are still discovered via SSH. So, if Cisco Firepower devices are not managed via FMC, they will still be discovered but without security-related information.

To discover Cisco Firepower security policies and utilize the Zone Firewall feature in IP Fabric, it is necessary to control Cisco Firepower through Cisco FMC (Firewall Management Center) and add Cisco FMC to the global Vendor API settings.

Go to Settings → Discovery & Snapshots → Discovery Settings → Vendors API, click + Add, select Cisco FMC from the list, and fill in:

  • Username and Password used to log in to Cisco FMC
  • Base URL of Cisco FMC server (e.g., https://cisco-fmc-ip-address)
  • Slug
