Information About Cisco Firepower Threat Defense for ISR

Cisco Firepower Threat Defense for ISR Overview

Cisco Firepower Threat Defense is a premier security solution that provides enhanced inspection for packet flows.

The Cisco Firepower Threat Defense solution consists of the following two entities:

  • Cisco FireSIGHT—A centralized policy and reporting entity that can run anywhere in the network. This can be the Cisco FireSIGHT appliance or a virtual installation on a server class machine.

  • Virtual Firepower sensor—Security entities that implement policies, and send events and statistics back to the defense center. The Firepower sensor is hosted on Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) E-Series Blade. Both the FireSIGHT and sensor are distributed as virtual packages.

UCS E-Series Blades are general purpose blade servers that are housed within Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR) Generation 2 (G2) and Cisco ISR 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers. These blades can be deployed either as bare-metal on operating systems or as virtual machines on hypervisors. There are two internal interfaces that connect a router to an UCS E-Series Blade. On ISR G2, Slot0 is a Peripheral Component Interconnet Express (PCIe) internal interface, and UCS E-Series Slot1 is a switched interface connected to the backplane Multi Gigabit Fabric (MGF). In Cisco ISR 4000 Series Routers, both internal interfaces are connected to the MGF.

A hypervisor is installed on the UCS E-Series Blade, and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense runs as a virtual machine on it. The Cisco Firepower Threat Defense OVA file is directly installed on the UCS E-Series Blade using the hypervisor operating system. Cisco Firepower Threat Defense runs as an anonymous inline device with no additional communication with the router. Traffic is diverted from the ingress physical interface to the Cisco Firepower Threat Defense that runs on the UCS E-Series Blade.

The following figure shows a Cisco Firepower Threat Defense deployment scenario. In this figure, the traffic lines between sensors and FireSIGHT are control connections. Packets are routed through these connections using router forwarding rules.

Figure 1. Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Deployment Scenario

By default, the virtualized Cisco Firepower sensor comes with three interfaces, one for management, and two others for traffic analysis. These interfaces must be mapped to the UCS E-Series interfaces.

UCS-Based Hosting

The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) E-Series Blade provides a generic server blade for hosting applications. This blade typically runs VMware ESXi hypervisor and is managed through vSphere like other VMWare deployments.

If the Firepower sensor is hosted on the Cisco UCS E-Series Blade, you must specify the Cisco IOS interfaces connected to Cisco Firepower Threat Defense. Applications running within the UCS E-Series Blade are only loosely coupled with Cisco IOS, and to determine the interfaces that are attached to appliances a mapping of the interfaces must be done. Interfaces to connect to the Cisco UCS E-Series Blade are Bridge Domain Interfaces (BDI).

The following Cisco UCS E-Series Blades are supported for hosting the Firepower sensor:

  • UCS-E 120S

  • UCS-E 140D

  • UCS-E 140S

  • UCS-E 160D

  • UCS-E 180D

IDS Packet Flow in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense

Cisco Firepower Threat Defense supports Intrusion Detection System (IDS). In IDS mode, traffic is copied to the sensor and is analyzed for threats. IDS mode cannot enforce policies; it can detect and report violations. In IDS mode, traffic is replicated from interfaces and redirected to Cisco Firepower Threat Defense that runs on the Cisco UCS E-Series blade.

IDS copies the traffic and analyzes them for threats. Enable the utd command to replicate packets to the Firepower sensor based on one of the following criteria:

  • If global inspection is enabled, all packets that flow through a router are replicated to the sensor.

  • If per interface inspection is enabled, packets are replicated only if the input or output interface has enabled the utd command for inspection.

To view the interfaces that have enabled packet inspection in IDS mode, use the show platform software utd interfaces command. The packet replication occurs as one of the first output features.

For general packet processing, features that are applied to a packet form an ordered sequence that is determined by the configuration of the device. In general, these features are grouped as either input or output features, with the routing function marking the boundary between the two. The IDS packet replication occurs as one of the first output features and so if any input feature drops the packet, it will not be replicated to the IDS engine.

Firepower Sensor Interfaces

The Firepower sensor virtual appliance has three network interfaces—two for analyzing the traffic and one for management connectivity to FireSIGHT. The two traffic-bearing interfaces are represented as two virtual interfaces; Bridge Domain Interfaces (BDIs), in the configuration.

Although two interfaces are available for analyzing the traffic, only one traffic-bearing interface is used for Intrusion Detection System (IDS).

The Firepower sensor is connected to the management network and appears as another host on the LAN segment.

Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Interoperability

Cisco Firepower Threat Defense supports Intrusion Detection System (IDS). In IDS mode, selected traffic is copied to the Firepower sensor for analysis.

Cisco Firepower Threat Defense interoperates with the following features:

  • Zone-based firewall—Application layer gateways (ALGs), application inspection and controls (AICs), and policies configured between zones

  • Network Address Translation (NAT)


    Note
    Cisco Firepower Threat Defense does not support outside address translation, because there is no mechanism to inform Firepower Threat Defense about outside global addresses. However; you can still enable address translation on outside interfaces. Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) or IDS is invoked after NAT on the ingress interface, and before NAT on the egress interface, always using inside addresses.

  • Crypto

  • Intelligent WAN (IWAN)

  • Kernel-based Virtual Machine Wide-Area Application Services (kWAAS)

How to Deploy Cisco Firepower Threat Defense for ISR

To deploy Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Intrusion Detection System (IDS), perform the following tasks:
  1. Obtain the Firepower sensor package.
  2. Install the Firepower sensor package through a hypervisor, such as VMWare VSphere.
  3. Configure router interfaces for traffic redirection.
    • Bridge-Domain interface (BDI) configuration for Cisco ISR 4000 Series Routers.
    • VLAN configuration for Cisco ISR Generation 2 routers.
  4. Bootstrap the Firepower sensor.
  5. Configure a policy in Cisco FireSIGHT.
    • The policy is configured through the FireSIGHT GUI.
  6. Enable inspection.

Obtaining the Firepower Sensor Package

To deploy the Firepower sensor on an Unified Computing System (UCS) E-Series Blade, download and save the OVA file. OVA is an Open Virtualization Archive that contains a compressed and installable version of a virtual machine. Download the OVA file from https:/​/​support.sourcefire.com/​sections/​1/​sub_sections/​51#5-2-virtual-appliances.

Installing the Firepower Sensor OVA File

Install the Firepower Sensor OVA on a UCS E-Series Blade, using a hypervisor, such as VMWare VSphere.

Installing Firepower Sensor on a UCS E-Series Blade

This section describes how to install the Firepower Sensor on a Unified Computing System (UCS) E-Series Blade that is installed on Cisco ISR 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers:
  1. Install the UCS E-Series card.
  2. Verify that the card is running by using the show platform command.
  3. Configure the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) port.
    The CIMC GUI is a web-based management interface for E-Series Servers. You can launch the CIMC GUI to manage the server from any remote host that meets the following minimum requirements:
    • Java 1.6 or later
    • HTTP or HTTPS-enabled
    • Adobe Flash Player 10 or later
    The CIMC runs on the port that is named management. The following example shows how to bootstrap the management port with an IP address: 
    ucse subslot 1/0
  imc access-port dedicated
  imc ip-address 10.66.152.158 255.255.255.0
!

    Connect to the CIMC through the browser by using the default login and password, which are admin and password, respectively. Based on the configuration example, the browser address is https://10.66.152.158.

  4. Install ESXi.

    Download the ESXi image for your Cisco UCS E-Series Blade from https:/​/​my.vmware.com/​web/​vmware/​details?downloadGroup=CISCO-ESXI-5.1.0-GA-25SEP2012&productId=284.

  5. Install Firepower Sensor by using VMWare VSphere on the Cisco UCS E-Series blade.
  6. Configure traffic redirect. For more information, see the section “Configuring Traffic Redirect on Cisco UCS E-Series Blade”.
  7. Configure the VMWare vSwitch. The Virtual Machine Network Interface Card (VMNIC) mapping on ISR 4000 Series Routers is as follows:
    • VMNIC0—Mapped to UCS E-Series interface x/0/0 on the router backplane
    • VMNIC1—Mapped to UCS E-Series interface x/0/1 on the router backplane
    • VMNIC2—Mapped to UCS E-Series frontplane GigabitEthernet 2 interface.
    • VMNIC3—Mapped to UCS E-Series frontplane GigabitEthernet 3 interface.

      Note
      VMNIC3 is only available on UCS E-Series 140D, 160Dm and 180D.

    UCS E-Series 120S and 140S have 3 network adaptors and one management port. UCS E-Series 140D, 160Dm and 180D have 4 network adaptors.

          Verifying and Monitoring IDS Inspection

          Use the following commands to verify and monitor your Intrusion Detection System (IDS) deployment:

          SUMMARY STEPS

            1.    enable

            2.    debug platform condition feature utd controlplane

            3.    debug platform condition feature utd dataplane submode

            4.    show platform hardware qfp active utd {config | status [all] [clear] [drop] [general]}


          DETAILED STEPS
            Step 1   enable
            Enables privileged EXEC mode.
            • Enter your password if prompted.
