Manage Platform Settings Policies

Use the Platform Settings page ( Devices > Platform Settings) to manage platform settings policies. This page indicates the type of device for each policy. The Status column shows the device targets for the policy.

Procedure

1

Choose Devices > Platform Settings.

2

For an existing policy, you can Copy (copy icon), Edit (edit icon), or Delete (delete icon) the policy.


 

You should not delete a policy that is the last-deployed policy on any of its target devices, even if it is out of date. Before you delete the policy completely, it is good practice to deploy a different policy to those targets.

3

To create a new policy, click New Policy.

  1. Choose a device type from the drop-down list:

    • Firepower Settings to create a shared policy for managed Classic devices.

    • Threat Defense Settings to create a shared policy for managed Firewall Threat Defense devices.

  2. Enter a Name for the new policy and optionally, a Description.

  3. Optionally, choose the Available Devices where you want to apply the policy and click Add (or drag and drop) to add the selected devices. You can enter a search string in the Search field to narrow the list of devices.

  4. Click Save.

    The system creates the policy and opens it for editing.

4

To change the target devices for a policy, click Edit (edit icon) next to the platform settings policy that you want to edit.

  1. Click Policy Assignment.

  2. To assign a device, high-availability pair, or device group to the policy, select it in the Available Devices list and click Add. You can also drag and drop.

  3. To remove a device assignment, click Delete (delete icon) next to a device, high-availability pair, or device group in the Selected Devices list.

  4. Click OK.
