Cabling for the Firepower 9300

Perform the initial Firepower Threat Defense configuration on the logical device Management interface. You

can later enable management from any data interface. The Firepower Threat Defense device requires internet

access for licensing and updates, and the default behavior is to route management traffic to the gateway IP

address you specified when you deployed the device. If you want to route management traffic over the

backplane to the data interfaces instead, you can configure that setting in the FDM later.

choose any interfaces on the chassis for this purpose other than the chassis management port, which is

reserved for FXOS management. Management interfaces can be shared among logical devices, or you

physical interfaces, EtherChannels, and breakout ports to divide up high-capacity interfaces. You can

cable multiple logical devices to the same networks or to different networks, as your network needs

dictate. All traffic must exit the chassis on one interface and return on another interface to reach another

logical device.

For High Availability, use a Data interface for the failover/state link.
