Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO) is the tool that assists engineers in performing an audit of network projects to determine which objects are duplicated across various firewall models, including Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense, Cisco Secure Firewall ASA, and Meraki MX Series. CDO provides a unified management interface for managing multiple security devices and can identify duplicate objects across these devices.

Steps:

Access Cisco Defense Orchestrator.

Connect and synchronize all relevant firewall devices (FTD, ASA, Meraki MX).

Use the audit and reporting features in CDO to identify and manage duplicate objects.

This helps ensure consistency and efficient management across the organization's firewall deployments.

Conditions

In order to create an HA between 2 FTD devices, these conditions must be met:

Same model

Same version (this applies to FXOS and to FTD - (major (first number), minor (second number), and maintenance (third number) must be equal))

Same number of interfaces

Same type of interfaces

Both devices as part of same group/domain in FMC

Have identical Network Time Protocol (NTP) configuration

Be fully deployed on the FMC without uncommitted changes

Be in the same firewall mode: routed or transparent.

Note that this must be checked on both FTD devices and FMC GUI since there have been cases where the FTDs had the same mode, but FMC does not reflect this.

Does not have DHCP/Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) configured in any of the interface

Different hostname (Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)) for both chassis. In order to check the chassis hostname navigate to FTD CLI and run this command

To enable Cisco Secure Firewall Malware Defense to detect and block malware, the network administrator must associate a File policy with an access control policy. File policies allow administrators to configure malware detection and file analysis capabilities on the Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense appliance.

Steps to configure File policy:

Navigate toPolicies > Access Control > File Policiesin the FMC.

Create a new file policy or edit an existing one to include malware detection and blocking settings.

Associate the file policy with the relevant access control policy.

Ensure that the access control policy is deployed to the FTD appliance.

By associating a file policy, the firewall will inspect files being transmitted through the web server for malware and take appropriate actions (block, allow, or alert) based on the configured rules.

When performing packet capture on a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) device, ensuring that the allocated memory is sufficient is crucial for capturing all necessary traffic during a specified capture session. If users experience issues accessing a server and the engineer suspects not all traffic was collected, it indicates that the current memory allocation might not be enough to store the entire capture data for the 15-minute session.

Steps:

Check the current memory allocation for packet captures on the FTD device.

Increase the memory allocation if it is insufficient to handle the volume of traffic expected during the capture session.

This ensures that all relevant traffic is captured and can be analyzed to diagnose and resolve the network issue.
