Configuring FXOS Server Access Settings on Firepower 2100 Series Devices

The FXOS Server Access section contains pages for configuring FXOS server access on Firepower 2100 Series devices; FXOS Server Access is under Device Admin in the Device or Policy selector.

The Firepower 2100 Series devices supported by ASA and Cisco Security Manager are:

  • Cisco FPR-2110 Adaptive Security Appliance

  • Cisco FPR-2120 Adaptive Security Appliance

  • Cisco FPR-2130 Adaptive Security Appliance

  • Cisco FPR-2140 Adaptive Security Appliance

This chapter contains the following topics:

HTTPS Page

The HTTPS page allows you to configure the device to access the FXOS server through HTTPS. When you deploy configurations with this protocol, Cisco Security Manager encrypts the configuration file before sending it to the device.

Navigation Path

  • (Device view) Select Platform > Device Admin > FXOS Server Access > HTTPS from the Device Policy selector.

  • (Policy view) Select PIX/ASA/FWSM Platform > Device Admin > FXOS Server Access > HTTPS from the Policy Type selector. Select an existing policy from the Shared Policy selector, or create a new one.
