Onboard a Chassis

You can add a Firepower 4100/9300 chassis to the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center. The management center and the chassis share a separate management connection using the chassis MGMT interface. The management center offers chassis-level health alerts. For configuration, you still need to use the chassis manager or FXOS CLI.

CDO does not record the processes on the Workflow page when you onboard a chassis or provision a multi-instance management centerthreat defense device from the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center chassis manager page.

Note

For the Secure Firewall 3100, you need to first convert to multi-instance mode. See Onboard the Multi-Instance Chassis.
