Prerequisites

To allow the cluster to auto-register to the management center, create a user with Network Admin & Maintenance User privileges on the management center. Users with these privileges can use REST API. See the Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Administration Guide.

Add an access policy in the management center that matches the name of the policy that you will specify during template deployment.

Ensure that the Management Center Virtual is licensed appropriately.

Perform the steps given below after the cluster is added to the Management Center Virtual:

1. Configure platform settings with the health check port number in the Management Center. For more information on configuring this, see Platform Settings.

2. Create a static route for data traffic. For more information on creating a static route, see Add a Static Route.

   Sample static route configuration:

   
   Network: any-ipv4
   Interface: vxlan_tunnel
   Leaked from Virtual Router: Global
   Gateway: vxlan_tunnel_gw
   Tunneled: false
   Metric: 2
