Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Compatibility Guide

This guide provides software and hardware compatibility for the Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center. For related compatibility guides, see the following table.


Note

Not all software versions, especially patches, apply to all platforms. A quick way to tell if a version is supported is that its upgrade/installation packages are posted on the Cisco Support & Download site. If the site is "missing" an upgrade or installation package, that version is not supported. You can also check the release notes and End-of-Life Announcements. If you feel a version is missing in error, contact Cisco TAC.

Navigating the Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Documentation

Suggested Release: Version 7.6.2

To take advantage of new features and resolved issues, we recommend you upgrade all eligible appliances to at least the suggested release, including the latest patch. On the Cisco Support & Download site, the suggested release is marked with a gold star. In Version 7.2.6+/7.4.1+, the management center notifies you when a new suggested release is available, and indicates suggested releases on its product upgrades page.

Suggested Releases for Older Appliances

If an appliance is too old to run the suggested release and you do not plan to refresh the hardware right now, choose a major version then patch as far as possible. Some major versions are designated long-term or extra long-term, so consider one of those. For an explanation of these terms, see Cisco's Next Generation Firewall Product Line Software Release and Sustaining Bulletin.

If you are interested in a hardware refresh, contact your Cisco representative or partner contact.

Management Center Hardware

The Version 7.0+ Firewall Management Center Virtual uses the FXOS operating system. Upgrading the Firewall Management Center Virtual software automatically upgrades FXOS. For information on bundled FXOS versions, see Bundled Components.

Hotfixing is the only way to update the BIOS and RAID controller firmware. Upgrading the software does not accomplish this task, nor does reimaging to a later version. If the Firewall Management Center is already up to date, the hotfix has no effect.


Tip

These hotfixes also update the CIMC firmware; for resolved issues see Release Notes for Cisco UCS Rack Server Software. Note that in general, we do not support changing configurations on the Firewall Management Center using CIMC. However, to enable logging of invalid CIMC usernames, apply the latest hotfix, then follow the instructions in the Viewing Faults and Logs chapter in the Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller CLI Configuration Guide, Version 4.0 or later.

Use the regular upgrade process to apply hotfixes. For hotfix release notes, which include quicklinks to the Cisco Support & Download site, see the Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense/Firepower Hotfix Release Notes.


Note

The Firewall Management Center web interface may display these hotfixes with a version that is different from (usually later than) the current software version. This is expected behavior and the hotfixes are safe to apply.

Determining BIOS and Firmware Versions

To determine the current versions on the Firewall Management Center, run these commands from the Linux shell/expert mode:

  • BIOS: sudo dmidecode -t bios -q

  • RAID controller firmware (FMC 4500): sudo MegaCLI -AdpAllInfo -aALL | grep "FW Package"

  • RAID controller firmware (all other models): sudo storcli /c0 show | grep "FW Package"

Firewall Management Center Virtual

With the Firewall Management Center Virtual, you can purchase licenses that enable you to manage 2, 10, 25, or 300 devices. For full details on supported instances, see the Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Virtual Getting Started Guide.

The Version 7.0+ Firewall Management Center Virtual uses the FXOS operating system. Upgrading the Firewall Management Center Virtual software automatically upgrades FXOS. For information on bundled FXOS versions, see Bundled Components.

Device Management

On-Prem Management Center

All devices support remote management with a customer-deployed (on-prem) Firewall Management Center.

Versions are major (A.x), maintenance (A.x.y), or patch (A.x.y.z). The Firewall Management Center should run the same or newer version as its devices. New features and resolved issues often require the latest version on both the Firewall Management Center and its devices. Upgrade the Firewall Management Center first—you will still be able to manage older devices, usually a few major versions back.


Note

You cannot upgrade a device past the Firewall Management Center to a newer major or maintenance version. Although a patched device (fourth-digit) can be managed with an unpatched Firewall Management Center, fully patched deployments undergo enhanced testing.

Note that in most cases you can upgrade an older device directly to the Firewall Management Center's major or maintenance version. However, sometimes you can manage an older device that you cannot directly upgrade, even though the target version is supported on the device. Rarely, there are issues with specific Firewall Management Center-device combinations. For release-specific requirements, see the release notes.

Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center

The Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center supports a wider range of managed device versions than on-prem management centers. However, to ensure security, reliability, and performance, sometimes we need to end Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center support for older versions of threat defense. After support ends for older versions, you cannot make or deploy changes to devices running those versions except to upgrade or unregister.


Important

After we announce end of support, upgrade affected devices as soon as possible. Do not add any new devices running the deprecated version. If you cannot upgrade due to incompatibility, contact your Cisco representative or partner immediately.

Co-managing Devices with an Analytics Management Center

You can co-manage a cloud-managed device with a Version 7.2+ on-prem Firewall Management Center for event logging and analytics purposes only. Because the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center supports a wider range of managed device versions than on-prem management centers, you may have issues with devices being "too old" or "too new" to co-manage.

You can be prevented from:

  • Registering newer devices to the analytics management center because older devices are blocking the required management center upgrade.

  • Upgrading co-managed devices to the latest release, because the analytics management center is "stuck" at an older release.

  • Reverting device upgrade, if revert would take the device out of compatibility with the analytics management center.

For example, consider a scenario where you want to add co-managed Version 7.7.0 devices to a deployment that currently includes co-managed Version 7.0.x devices. The Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center can manage this full range of devices, but the on-prem analytics management center cannot.

This table explains your options in order of preference.

Table 11.

Result

Action

In this scenario

Get events from all devices.

Upgrade (or replace) the analytics management center and your older devices.

  1. Upgrade the Version 7.0.x devices to at least Version 7.3.0.

  2. Upgrade the analytics management center to Version 7.7.0.

  3. Add the Version 7.7.0 devices to both management centers.

Forgo events from older devices.

Upgrade (or replace) the analytics management center only.

  1. Remove the Version 7.0.x devices from the analytics management center.

  2. Upgrade the analytics management center to Version 7.7.0.

  3. Add the Version 7.7.0 devices to both management centers.

Forgo events from newer devices.

Leave the analytics management center at an older release.

Leave the analytics management center as it is and do not add your Version 7.7.0 devices.

Bundled Components

These tables list the versions of various components bundled with the Firewall Management Center. Use this information to identify open or resolved bugs in bundled components that may affect your deployment.

Note that sometimes we release updated builds for select releases. If bundled components change from build to build, we list the components in the latest build. (In most cases, only the latest build is available for download.) For details on new builds and the issues they resolve, see the release notes for your version.

Operating System

The Version 7.0+ Firewall Management Center uses the FXOS operating system.

System Databases

The vulnerability database (VDB) is a database of known vulnerabilities to which hosts may be susceptible, as well as fingerprints for operating systems, clients, and applications. The system uses the VDB to help determine whether a particular host increases your risk of compromise.

The geolocation database (GeoDB) is a database that you can leverage to view and filter traffic based on geographical location.

Integrated Products

The Cisco products listed below may have other compatibility requirements, for example, they may need to run on specific hardware, or on a specific operating system. For that information, see the documentation for the appropriate product.


Note

Whenever possible, we recommend you use the latest (newest) compatible version of each integrated product. This ensures that you have the latest features, bug fixes, and security patches.

Identity Services and User Control

Note that with:

  • Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC: We list the versions of ISE and ISE-PIC for which we provide enhanced compatibility testing, although other combinations may work.

  • Cisco Firepower User Agent: Version 6.6 is the last Firewall Management Center release to support the user agent software as an identity source; this blocks upgrade to Version 6.7+. Instead, use the Passive Identity Agent with Microsoft Active Directory. For more information, see User Control With the Passive Identity Agent.

  • Cisco TS Agent: Versions 1.0 and 1.1 are no longer available.

Browsers

We test with the latest versions of these popular browsers, running on currently supported versions of macOS and Microsoft Windows:

Table 20. Browsers

Browser

Management Center Version

Google Chrome

Any

Mozilla Firefox

Any

Microsoft Edge (Windows only)

Version 6.7+

Not extensively tested with How-Tos.

Apple Safari

Not extensively tested. Feedback welcome.

If you encounter issues with any other browser, or are running an operating system that has reached end of life, we ask that you switch or upgrade. If you continue to encounter issues or have feedback, contact Cisco TAC.

Browser Settings and Extensions

Regardless of browser, keep JavaScript and cookies enabled. If you are using Microsoft Edge, do not enable IE mode.

Note that some browser extensions can prevent you from saving values in fields like the certificate and key in PKI objects. These extensions include, but are not limited to, Grammarly and Whatfix Editor. This happens because these extensions insert characters (such as HTML) in the fields, which causes the system to see them invalid. We recommend you disable these extensions while you’re logged into our products.

Securing Communications

When you first log in, the system uses a self-signed digital certificate to secure web communications. Your browser should display an untrusted authority warning, but also should allow you to add the certificate to the trust store. Although this will allow you to continue, we do recommend that you replace the self-signed certificate with a certificate signed by a globally known or internally trusted certificate authority (CA).

To begin replacing the self-signed certificate on the management center, choose System (system gear icon) > Configuration > HTTPS Certificate. For detailed procedures, see the online help or the Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Administration Guide


Note

If you do not replace the self-signed certificate:

  • Google Chrome does not cache static content, such as images, CSS, or JavaScript. Especially in low bandwidth environments, this can extend page load times.

  • Mozilla Firefox can stop trusting the self-signed certificate when the browser updates. If this happens, you can refresh Firefox, keeping in mind that you will lose some settings; see Mozilla's Refresh Firefox support page.

Browsing from a Monitored Network

Many browsers use Transport Layer Security (TLS) v1.3 by default. If you are using an SSL policy to handle encrypted traffic, and people in your monitored network use browsers with TLS v1.3 enabled, websites that support TLS v1.3 may fail to load.


Note

In Version 6.2.3 and earlier, websites that support TLS v1.3 always fail to load. As a workaround, you can configure managed devices to remove extension 43 (TLS 1.3) from ClientHello negotiation; see the software advisory titled: Failures loading websites using TLS 1.3 with SSL inspection enabled. In Version 6.2.3.7+, you can specify when to downgrade; see the system support commands in the Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Command Reference after consulting with Cisco TAC.

End-of-Life Announcements

The following tables provide end-of-life details. Dates that have passed are in bold.

Snort 2

If you are still using the Snort 2 inspection engine with threat defense, switch to Snort 3 now for improved detection and performance. It is available starting in threat defense Version 7.0+ with management center. Snort 2 is deprecated in Version 7.7+, and prevents threat defense upgrade.

In management center deployments, upgrading to threat defense Version 7.2–7.6 also upgrades eligible Snort 2 devices to Snort 3. For devices that are ineligible because they use custom intrusion or network analysis policies, manually upgrade Snort. See Migrate from Snort 2 to Snort 3 in the Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Snort 3 Configuration Guide.

Cisco Firepower User Agent

Version 6.6 is the last release to support the Cisco Firepower User Agent software as an identity source. You cannot upgrade an FMC with user agent configurations to Version 6.7+. You should switch to Cisco Identity Services Engine/Passive Identity Connector (ISE/ISE-PIC). This will also allow you to take advantage of features that are not available with the user agent. To convert your license, contact Sales.

For more information, see the End-of-Life and End-of-Support for the Cisco Firepower User Agent announcement and the Firepower User Identity: Migrating from User Agent to Identity Services Engine TechNote.

Cisco Terminal Services (TS) Agent

Cisco TS Agent Versions 1.0 and 1.1 have been removed from the Cisco Support & Download site. If you are using either of these versions, we recommend you upgrade.

Cisco Security Packet Analyzer

Cisco Security Packet Analyzer is compatible with Versions 6.3 and 6.4 only.
