Requirements and Best Practices for AMP Cloud Connections

Requirements for AMP Cloud Connections

You must be an Admin user to set up the AMP cloud.

To ensure your management center can communicate with the AMP cloud, see the topics under Security, Internet Access, and Communication Ports.

To use the legacy port for AMP communications, see Communication Port Requirements.

AMP and High Availability

Although they share file policies and related configurations, management centers in a high availability pair share neither cloud connections nor captured files, file events, and malware events. To ensure continuity of operations, and to ensure that detected files’ malware dispositions are the same on both management centers, both Active and Standby management centers must have access to the cloud.

In high availability configurations, you must configure AMP cloud connections independently on the Active and Standby instances of the Firepower Management Center; these configurations are not synchronized.
