1 Introduction
The Cisco Firepower eXtensible Operating System (FXOS) chassis
is a next-generation platform for
network and content security solutions. The FXOS chassis is part of the Cisco Application Centric
Infrastructure (ACI) Security Solution and provides an agile, open, secure platform that is built for
scalability, consistent control, and simplified management.
The FXOS chassis provides the following features:
• Modular chassis-based security system—provides high performance, flexible input/output
configurations, and scalability.
• Firepower Chassis Manager—graphical user interface provides streamlined, visual representation
of current chassis status and simplified configuration of chassis features.
• FXOS CLI—provides command-based interface for configuring features, monitoring chassis
status, and accessing advanced troubleshooting features.
The Cisco firepower (FP) 9300 security appliance is a modular, scalable, carrier-grade appliance that
includes the Chassis (including fans and power supply), Supervisor Blade (to manage the security
application running on the security module), network module (optional) and security module that contains
the security application which in this evaluation is the ASA. The FP4100 Series appliance is a complete
standalone, bundle unit that contains everything required above in one appliance. To manage the FP 9300
and 4100 Series appliances, FXOS provides a command-line interface (CLI) and a web GUI known as the
firepower chassis manager. The ASA installed on the security module is managed separately and is
described in the corresponding document specified in section 1.3.
This document is a supplement to the Cisco administrative guidance, which is comprised of the
installation and administration documents identified in section 1.3. This document supplements those
manuals by specifying how to install, configure and operate this product in the Common Criteria
evaluated configuration. This document is referred to as the operational user guide in the Network
Devices collaborative Protection Profile (NDcPP) v1.0 and meets all the required guidance assurance
activities from the NDcPP.
Also known as the Supervisor Blade
