Security Considerations
Before you install your appliance, Cisco recommends that you consider the following:
•
Locate your appliance in a lockable rack within a secure location that prevents access by
unauthorized personnel.
•
Allow only trained and qualified personnel to install, replace, administer, or service the appliance.
•
Always connect the management interface to a secure internal management network that is protected
from unauthorized access.
•
Identify the specific workstation IP addresses that can be allowed to access appliances. Restrict
access to the appliance to only those specific hosts using Access Lists within the appliance’s system
policy. For more information, see the
Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide
.
Identifying the Management Interfaces
You connect each appliance in your deployment to the network using the management interface. This
allows the Firepower Management Center to communicate with and administer the devices it manages.
Refer to the correct illustration for your appliance as you follow the installation procedure.
