Overview

Features

The Cisco Firepower 1100 security appliances are a standalone modular security services platform. They are capable of running multiple security services simultaneously and so are targeted at the data center as a multiservice platform. See Product ID Numbers for a list of the product IDs (PIDs) associated with the Firepower 1100.

The Firepower 1000 supports Cisco Firepower Threat Defense and Cisco ASA software. See the Cisco Firepower Compatibility Guide and the Cisco ASA Compatibility guide, which provide Cisco software and hardware compatibility, including operating system and hosting environment requirements, for each supported version.

The following figure shows the Cisco Firepower 1100 chassis.

Console Ports and USB Ports

Console Ports

The Firepower 1100 has two external console ports, a standard RJ-45 port and a USB Mini B serial port. Only one console port can be active at a time. When a cable is plugged into the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is removed from the USB port, the RJ-45 port becomes active. The console ports do not have any hardware flow control. You can use the CLI to configure the chassis through either serial console port by using a terminal server or a terminal emulation program on a computer.

  • RJ-45 (8P8C) port—Supports RS-232 signaling to an internal UART controller. The RJ-45 console port does not support a remote dial-in modem. You can use a standard management cable (Cisco part number 72-3383-01) to convert the RJ45-to-DB9 connection if necessary.

  • USB Mini B port—Lets you connect to a USB port on an external computer. For Linux and Macintosh systems, no special driver is required. For Windows systems, you must download and install a USB driver (available on software.cisco.com). You can plug and unplug the USB cable from the console port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations. We recommend shielded USB cables with properly terminated shields. Baud rates for the USB console port are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps.


Note


For Windows operating systems, you must install a Cisco Windows USB Console Driver on any PC connected to the console port before using the USB console port. See Connect to the Console Port with Microsoft Windows for information on installing the driver.
USB Ports

The chassis contains a standard USB Type A port that you can use to attach an external device. The USB port can provide output power of 5 volts, up to a maximum of 1 A (5 USB power units).

  • External USB drive (optional)—You can use the external USB Type A port to attach a data-storage device. The external USB drive identifier is disk1. When the chassis is powered on, a connected USB drive is mounted as disk1 and is available for you to use. Additionally, the file-system commands that are available to disk0 are also available to disk1, including copy, format, delete, mkdir, pwd, cd, and so on.

  • FAT-32 File System—The Firepower 1100 only supports FAT-32-formatted file systems for the external USB drive. If you insert an external USB drive that is not in FAT-32 format, the system mounting process fails, and you receive an error message. You can enter the command format disk1: to format the partition to FAT-32 and mount the partition to disk1 again; however, data might be lost.

Rear Panel LEDs

The following figure shows the LEDs on the rear panel of the Firepower 1100 and describes their states.

Figure 8. Firepower 1100 Rear Panel LEDs

1

Network

Status of the network ports:

Link status (L):

  • Off—No link, or port is not in use.

  • Green—Link established.

  • Green, flashing—Link activity.

2

Network

Status of the network ports:

Connection-speed status (S):

  • Green, flashing—One flash every three seconds = 10 Mbps.

  • Green, flashing—Two rapid flashes = 100 Mbps.

  • Green, flashing—Three rapid flashes = 1000 Mbps.

3

SFP

Status of the SFP transceiver:

Link status (L):

  • Off—No SFP.

  • Amber—SFP present, but no link.

  • Green, flashing—Link established and transmitting.

4

Power

Power supply status:

  • Off —Power supply off.

  • Green—Power supply on.

5

Status

System operating status:

  • Off—System has not booted up yet.

  • Green, flashing quickly—System is booting up.

  • Green—Normal system function.

  • Amber—Critical alarm indicating one or more of the following:

    • Major failure of a hardware or software component.

    • Over-temperature condition.

    • Power voltage outside the tolerance range.

  • Green, flashing slowly (twice in 5 seconds)—Cloud connected.

    Note

     
    Security Cloud Control is valid for FTD 6.7 and later.
  • Green and amber, flashing—Cloud connection failure.

  • Green—Cloud disconnected.

Note

 
The Security Cloud Control LED pattern applies to zero-touch provisioning. See the Easy Deployment Guide for Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense with Cisco Security Cloud Control for more information.

6

Active

Status of the failover pair:

  • Off— Failover is not operational.

  • Green—Failover pair operating normally. The LED is green always unless the chassis in a high availability pair.

  • Amber—When the chassis is in a high availability pair, the LED is amber for the standby unit.

Note

 

For Active-Active cases with multi-context enabled, since there will be multiple groups with Active and Standby units, any unit can be in the Active or Standby state in each group, thus the LED behavior is not deterministic. Therefore, you must ignore the LED status for Active-Active cases.

7

SSD

Status of the SSD:

  • Off— No SSD present.

  • Green—SSD detected.

  • Green, flashing—Activity on the SSD.

Note

 

See Replace the SSD for the procedure for replacing a failed SSD.

Supported Transceivers

The SFP transceiver is a bidirectional device with a transmitter and receiver in the same physical package. It is a hot-swappable optical or electrical (copper) interface that plugs into the SFP ports on the fixed ports and the network module ports, and provides Ethernet connectivity.


Note


When using fiber-based optics, make sure that the same SFP type is used on both sides of the cable because speed is not negotiated when using SFP transceivers. This is true for both copper SFPs (the exception being that the GLC-T RJ45-based copper SFPs can negotiate speed) and fiber SFPs. If a port is configured for sfp-detect, then the software configures the port’s speed to match the speed capability of the SFP. For dual-rate SFPs, when sfp-detect is configured, the port is always configured for the highest supported speed of the port. For example, a port that has a 10/25-Gbps SFP installed is configured to operate at 25 Gbps when sfp-detect is configured.

Safety Warnings

Take note of the following warnings:


Warning


Statement 1055—Class 1/1M Laser

Invisible laser radiation is present. Do not expose to users of telescopic optics. This applies to Class 1/1M laser products.



Warning


Statement 1056—Unterminated Fiber Cable

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments, for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes, within a distance of 100 mm, may pose an eye hazard.



Warning


Statement 1057—Hazardous Radiation Exposure

Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.



Warning


Use appropriate ESD procedures when inserting the transceiver. Avoid touching the contacts at the rear, and keep the contacts and ports free of dust and dirt. Keep unused transceivers in the ESD packing that they were shipped in.



Caution


Although non-Cisco are allowed, we do not recommend using them because they have not been tested and validated by Cisco. Cisco TAC may refuse support for any interoperability problems that result from using an untested third-party SFP transceiver.

Power Cord Specifications

Each power supply has a separate power cord. Standard power cords or jumper power cords are available for connection to the security appliance. The jumper power cords for use in racks are available as an optional alternative to the standard power cords.

If you do not order the optional power cord with the system, you are responsible for selecting the appropriate power cord for the product. Using a incompatible power cord with this product may result in electrical safety hazard. Orders delivered to Argentina, Brazil, and Japan must have the appropriate power cord ordered with the system.
