-
The On-Prem Management Centers on the HA pair must be running at least version 7.2.
-
You must have an active SecureX account.
-
SecureX must be enabled on the On-Prem Management Centers. See Integrate Firepower Management Center with SecureX for steps and more information.

You must add the Firepower integration module in SecureX. See Integrate Firepower Management Center with SecureX for steps and more information.
-
Merge your CDO account and SecureX/CTR account prior to onboarding your HA pair. See Merge Accounts for instructions.
