FTD Software Architecture The Big Picture
ASA engine (multiple instances of Data Path) - Focused on L2-L4 functionality

Snort engine (multiple instances of Snort) - Focused on L7 functionality
1. A packet enters the ingress interface and it is handled by the ASA engine
2. If the policy dictates so the packet is inspected by the Snort engine
3. Snort engine returns a verdict (whitelist or blacklist) for the packet
4. The ASA engine drops or forwards the packet based on Snorts verdict
FTD Installation on ASA
*.lfbff
Boot image
*.cdisk
Images to install FTD
System image *.pkg

Prerequisites
The ASA ROMMON version is at least 1.1.8 (for ASA-5506/5508/5516)
ASA flash should have at least 3.1 GB
The boot image is uploaded to a TFTP server.
The system image is uploaded to an HTTP/HTTPS or FTP server
FTD installation on ASA
Step 1 Reload the ASA and break into ROMMON mode
Use BREAK or ESC to interrupt boot.
rommon #0>
Step 2 Configure basic network settings and install the FTD boot image
rommon 1 > ADDRESS=10.62.148.29
rommon 2 > SERVER=10.229.22.31
rommon 3 > GATEWAY=10.62.148.1
rommon 4 > IMAGE=ftd-boot-9.7.1.0.cdisk
rommon 5 > tftpdnld
Step 3 Configure the boot image

firepower-boot> setup
Step 4 Install the system image (WITH NOCONFIRM) not to be prompted for confirmation messages during
the installation process
firepower-boot> system install ftp://10.48.45.236/ftd-6.1.0-330.pkg
Step 5 Accept End User License Agreement, specify network settings, Management mode, FTD mode
Step 6 Register FTD to FMC (if needed)

FTD installation on Firepower 4100/9300
Step 1 Upload the FTD image (.csp file) to FCM (Firepower Chassis Manager)
Step 2 On FCM configure FTD Management and Data Interfaces (Interfaces tab)
Step 3 On FCM Create an FTD Logical Device (Logical Devices > Add Device)
Step 4 On FCM provision the FTD Management interface
Step 5 On FCM provision the FTD settings (password, FW mode, DNS IP) and FMC info
Step 6 On FCM provision the FTD Data interface(s)
Step 7 Register FTD to FMC (Firepower Management Center)
Licensing on FTD
FTD Licensing
FTD uses Smart Licensing model where the license is not tied to any SN
Smart Licensing is applicable only on FTD. All other Firepower products still
use Classic Licensing
Evaluation license available for 90 days with full* functionality
After 90 days you need to register with Cisco Smart Software Manager
(CSCM)
Licensing is handled by the FMC which will not deploy or accept events from
unlicensed devices
FTD Licensing
To apply a Smart License on FTD
Step 1 - Obtain an ID Token from Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSCM -
Cisco License Portal)
Step 2 - Register Firepower Management Center (FMC) to CSCM
Step 3 - Register FTD to FMC

Step 4 - Apply one or more licenses to FTD devices
FTD Licensing
Smart License State Machine
Product Usage Comments

Registration Authorization
State State
Unregistered -- The FMC is neither in Registered nor Evaluation mode. This is the initial state after FMC
installation or after 90-day Evaluation License Expiration
Registered Authorized The FMC is registered with Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSCM) and there are FTD devices
registered with valid subscription
Registered Authorization Expired FMC failed to communicate with Cisco License backend for more than 90 days
Registered Unregistered The FMC is registered with Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSCM), but there are no FTD
devices registered on FMC
Registered Out-of-Compliance The FMC is registered with Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSCM), but there are FTD devices
registered with invalid subscription(s).
E.g. An ASA5506 FTD device uses THREAT subscription, but in the with Cisco Smart Software
Manager (CSCM) there are no THREAT subscriptions available for ASA5506
Evaluation (90 days) N/A
Evaluation period is in use, but there are no FTD devices registered on FMC

FMC FDM
!!! Migration between off-box and on-box will remove the whole FTD
configuration. Before migrating there is need to unregister the FTD device from
Smart Licensing server !!!
Deployment and Interface Modes
Deployment Scenarios
FTD can act as both NGFW and NGIPS on different network
interfaces:
NGFW derives operational modes from ASA and adds Firepower
features (Routed and Switched interface modes)
NGIPS operates as a standalone Firepower with limited ASA
engine functionality (Passive, Passive (ERSPAN), Inline pair, Inline
pair with tap interface modes)
Pick from many deployment modes
NGIPS deployment modes NGFW deployment modes
Inline or Passive Fail-to-wire NetMods Additional options

Inline Route

NetMod
101110
Inline Tap Transparent

Passive

FTD Deployment and Interface Modes
Deployment Modes: Interface Modes:
Routed Routed
from classic ASA
Transparent Switched (BVI)
Passive
from classic ASA
Passive (ERSPAN)
from classic
Inline Pair Firepower IPS
Inline Pair with tap
High Availability on FTD
HA Requirements
To build an HA pair between 2 FTD devices the following requirements
should be met:
Same model
Same version (FXOS and FTD)
Same number and type of interfaces
Both devices are in the same group/domain in FMC
Identical NTP configuration
No uncommitted changes on FMC
The same FTD mode: routed or transparent
No DHCP/PPPoE configured on any of interfaces
Different hostname (FQDN) for both chassis:
firepower# show chassis-management-url
https://FPR4100.cisco.com:443//
Policy Deployment in HA
1. Start Deployment request initiated from FMC comes to Active FTD

2. Snort-side configuration is applied on Active FTD
3. LINA process on Active unit will send snort-side config to Standby node
4. Lina configuration applied on Active unit
5. LINA process on Active unit takes care of syncing lina configurations to Standby node
6. Deployment Status with SUCCESS or FAILURE is sent back to FMC with all the
information
Life of a packet
FXOS (4100/9300) architecture and Packet Flow
Packet Flow on FP2100
1. The packet arrives on the Internal Switch

2. Internal Switch forwards the packet to the ASA Engine (Network Processing Unit - NPU)
3. ASA Engine forwards the packet to Snort Engine (CPU)
4. Snort Engine forwards the packet back to ASA Engine (NPU)
5. ASA Engine forwards the packet to the Internal Switch
6. The Internal Switch sends the packet back to physical network
FTD Packet Processing
How can we bypass snort inspection in
FTD?
Polling Question 2 A. Create Whitelist in SI policy

B. Pre Filter policy
C. Configure tcp state bypass
D. None of the above
Troubleshooting Tools
FTD Data-Plane - Packet-Tracer
Packet-tracer shows the ASA Engine Datapath checks done on a virtual packet
Source interface
Summary or
detailed format
FTD Troubleshooting Tools Capture
FTD offers 2 kinds of Captures :
1. ASA(Lina)-level capture capture command from CLISH
2. Snort-level capture capture-traffic command from CLISH
Where are these captures taking place?
Additionally, in expert mode , tcpdump can be taken to capture traffic .

FTD Data-Plane Capture + Capture w/Trace
Source interface
IP Protocol
Circular buffer
Trace ingress packets
Current GUI limitations

Cannot specify Src and Dst ports
Only basic IP Protocols can be matched
Cannot enable capture for ASA Engine ASP Drops
Workaround Use the FTD CLI
FXOS Data-Plane (MIO) Capture
Egress Packet = Chassis Backplane
Captures only at Ingress of MIO fabric internal switch

Enabling FXOS capture from CLI:
FPR9K-2-A# scope packet-capture Create a capture session
FPR9K-2-A /packet-capture* # create session port1_2
FPR9K-2-A /packet-capture/session* # create phy-port Ethernet1/2 Apply the capture
FPR9K-2-A /packet-capture/session/phy-port* # exit
FPR9K-2-A /packet-capture/session* # enable
FPR9K-2-A /packet-capture/session* # commit-buffer Enable the capture
FXOS Control-Plane Captures
The Firepower chassis Management interface provides SSH, HTTPS access

Source/Destination for Control-Plane traffic: NTP, SNMP, AAA, Syslog, DNS

ASA-level logs provide information about the FTD ASA Engine
Remote Syslog server

FTD Logging System logs
pigtail is an FMC and FTD CLI tool that parses, reformats, and displays the
contents of several log files as the files are written
Messages shown in order based on their timestamps - Different color per file
FTD Debugs
FTD debugs can be categorized in 3 types

1. ASA Engine Control-Plane debugs
2. ASA Engine Data-Plane debugs
3. Snort Engine Data-Plane debugs
Demo
Which of the following tool is best in
troubleshooting URL filtering issue?
