Is This Guide for You?
This guide explains how to configure Firepower Threat Defense using the Firepower Device Manager (FDM)
web-based configuration interface included on the Firepower Threat Defense devices.
The FDM lets you configure the basic features of the software that are most commonly used for small or
mid-size networks. It is especially designed for networks that include a single device or just a few, where you
do not want to use a high-powered multiple-device manager to control a large network containing many
Firepower Threat Defense devices.
If you are managing large numbers of devices, or if you want to use the more complex features and
configurations that Firepower Threat Defense allows, use the Firepower Management Center (FMC) to
configure your devices instead of the integrated FDM.
You can use the FDM on the following devices.
