Onboard a Chassis

You can add a Firepower 4100/9300 chassis to the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center. The management center and the chassis share a separate management connection using the chassis MGMT interface. The Firewall Management Center offers chassis-level health alerts. For configuration, you still need to use the Firewall Chassis Manager or FXOS CLI.

Security Cloud Control does not record the processes on the Workflow page when you onboard a chassis or provision a multi-instance management centerthreat defense device from the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center chassis manager page.


 

For the Secure Firewall 3100/4200, you need to first convert to multi-instance mode. See Onboard the Multi-Instance Chassis.
