Onboard an On-Prem Firewall Management Center High Availability Pair with SecureX

Use the following procedure to onboard an On-Prem Management Center HA pair that has SecureX enabled:

Before you begin

Onboarding an On-Prem Management Center high availability (HA) pair is similar to onboarding a single On-Prem Management Center on CDO. To onboard an On-Prem Management Center HA pair, you must onboard the active On-Prem Management Center.

Note the following requirements before onboarding an On-Prem Management Center HA pair:

Procedure


Step 1

From the CDO navigation bar, click Inventory.

Step 2

Select the blue plus button to add a device.

Step 3

Select FMC.

Step 4

Select Use SecureX as the method.

Step 5

Click Fetch FMCs and select the active On-Prem Management Center from the drop-down menu.

Note

Ensure that you always onboard only the active On-Prem Management Center from the drop-down menu.

If you have manually switched peer roles on the HA pair (from Active to Standby, or Standby to Active), and see both the peers in the drop-down menu, ensure that you select only the active peer to onboard.

Step 6

(Optional) Enter a Device Name. The default device name auto-generates when you select the On-Prem Management Center HA pair but you can enter a custom name that will display in the Inventory page after onboarding.

Step 7

Select Onboard FMC.

Step 8

(Optional) Enter a label for the device. You will be able to filter your list of devices by this label. See Labels and Label Groups for more information.
