Introduction
This document describes insight into Rebranding Device Outputs to Cisco Secure Firewall.
Prerequisites
Background Information
- Displayed device names now match other branding materials
- This creates a stronger brand and a more straightforward user experience
- No functional impact to any platforms; only the text has changed.
- Older FTD hardware platforms (FPR1010/11XX, FPR41XX, FPR93XX) still use Firepower branding
- Some system defaults and component names can still use firepower
Requirements
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:
- Cisco Next Gen Firewall(NGFW) portfolio
Components Used
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
- Firepower Management Center(FMC) version 7.6.0
- Firepower Device Manager(FDM) version 7.6.0
- All Virtual Firepower Threat Defense(FTD) version 7.6.0
- Cisco Secure Firewall 31XX,42XX
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Feature Description
How it works:
- Full model names and short model names for CSF31XX, CSF42XX, Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Virtual, and all Firewall Management Center (FMC) platforms contain Cisco Secure Firewall branding.
- The CSF31XX FDM software is now SFDM, Secure Firewall Device Manager.
- There are no functional components to this feature.
- There are no configuration options for this feature.
Upgrading:
- When upgrading to Secure Firewall 7.6, all relevant CLIs and GUIs updated to reflect current branding.
- No issues during upgrade for registered devices
- If Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) is upgraded, Firewall Management Center (FMC) update its GUI with current branding.
- If Firewall Management Center (FMC) is upgraded, all registered devices restore connectivity after upgrade as expected.
Configure
Firewall Management Center Examples
Summary Status:
- Management Center model name has Cisco branding prepended.

Configuration Information:
- Management Center model name has Cisco branding prepended.

CLI Output:
- Full model name is shown with Cisco Secure Firewall branding.

Device Management:
- Managed devices show shortened model names.
- Both Firepower (FPR1140 here) and Secure Firewall Devices (here, 3130, 4215, and FTD on VMware) can appear together.

Firepower Devices Example
Summary status:

System Details for Secure Firewall Device:
- Full model name is shown in device system info.
- CSF31XX is shown as Cisco Secure Firewall.

Chassis Manager for 3100 / 4200 in Multi-Instance Mode:
- Full model name is shown in device system info.
- CSF42XX chassis is shown as Cisco Secure Firewall.

Firewall Threat Defense Configuration Defaults:
-
System hostname default is still firepower,
-
We kept firepower, because this does not directly reference the running platform.
-
This can be easily changed by the user.
Do you want to configure IPv4? (y/n) [y]:
Do you want to configure IPv6? (y/n) [y]: n
Configure IPv4 via DHCP or manually? (dhcp/manual) [manual]:
Enter an IPv4 address for the management interface [192.168.0.190]: 192.168.0.231
Enter an IPv4 netmask for the management interface [255.255.255.0]:
Enter the IPv4 default gateway for the management interface [data-interfaces]: 192.168.0.254
Enter a fully qualified hostname for this system [firepower]:
Enter a comma-separated list of DNS servers or 'none' [x.x.x.x]:
Enter a comma-separated list of search domains or 'none' []:
If your networking information has changed, you need to reconnect.
Firewall Device Manager Examples
Summary Status:
- Main device page shows full model name with Secure Firewall branding.


Firewall Threat Defense CLI Output:
- Full model name is shown with Secure Firewall naming.
- This is also shown on SSH logins.
- Other CLI output, such as show version, uses Secure Firewall instead of Firepower.
Manage the device locally? (yes/no) [yes]:
Configuring firewall mode to routed.
Update policy deployment information
- add device configuration
