Form FMC must be filed for any changes to a licensee:. Other changes to information reported on the original Form FMC may be reported by an officer of the company via email to oti fmc. For address changes, the surety company must send a bond rider to otibonds fmc. Form FMC must be filed by a non-U. Licensed, U. Licensed, Non-U. A rider to the bond should list the qualifying branch address in the United States. X-xxx is the version and build number of the Firepower System software you want to deploy.

You can specify:. You can manage this virtual appliance using VMware vCenter or use it as a standalone appliance. Enter a unique, meaningful name for your virtual appliance and select the inventory location for your appliance.

Manage your computing resources within a host or cluster by setting them up in a meaningful hierarchy. Virtual machines and child resource pools share the resources of the parent resource pool. Select the format to store the virtual disks: thick provision lazy zeroed, thick provision eager zeroed, or thin provision. Synchronizing the system time on your FMCv and its managed devices is essential to successful operation of your Firepower System. Consult VMware documentation for specific instructions.

We recommend that you only use shared storage if you plan to use vMotion. During deployment, if you have a host cluster you can either provision storage locally on a specific host or on a shared host. However, if you try to vMotion the FMCv to another host, using local storage will produce an error. Snapshots provide a change log for the virtual disk and can be used to restore a VM to a particular point in time when a failure or system error occurs. Snapshots alone do not provide backup, and should not be used as backup.

See the following VMware Knowledge Base articles:. The two FMCv virtual appliances in a high availability configuration must be the same model. Workaround —Edit the virtual machine settings in vSphere to add a serial port while the device is powered off. Right-click the virtual machine and select Edit Settings.

On the Virtual Hardware tab, expand Serial port , and select connection type Use physical serial port. FMCv appliances do not have serial numbers. Starting with the 6. Previously, the default was e If you are using e interfaces, we strongly recommend you switch. The vmxnet3 device drivers and network processing are integrated with the ESXi hypervisor, so they use fewer resources and offer better network performance. To change e interfaces to vmxnet3, you must delete ALL interfaces and reinstall them with the vmxnet3 driver.

Although you can mix interfaces in your deployment such as, e interfaces on a virtual Firepower Management Center and vmxnet3 interfaces on its managed virtual device , you cannot mix interfaces on the same virtual appliance.

All sensing and management interfaces on the virtual appliance must be of the same type. Select the applicable network adapters and then select Remove. Click Add to open the Add Hardware Wizard. Select Ethernet adapter and click Next. Repeat for all interfaces on the FTDv. Cisco virtual appliances are packaged as virtual machines with Version 7 of the virtual hardware. Cisco recommends that you always use the most recent package available.

Virtual appliance packages are usually associated with major versions of the system software for example, 6. Navigate to the Cisco Software Download page. Find the VMware installation package that you want to download for the Firepower Management Center Virtual Appliance using the following naming convention:. X-xxx is the version and build number of the installation package you want to download.

While you are logged into the Support Site, Cisco recommends you download any available updates for virtual appliances so that after you install a virtual appliance to a major version, you can update its system software.

You should always run the latest version of the system software supported by your appliance. Copy the installation package to a location accessible to the workstation or server that is running the vSphere Client. Uncompress the installation package archive file using your preferred tool and extract the installation files.

X-xxx is the version and build number of the archive file you downloaded. In either case, you must configure Firepower System-required settings after installation. After you specify settings on each page of the wizard, click Next to continue. For your convenience, the final page of the wizard allows you to confirm your settings before completing the procedure. X-xxx is the version and build number of the installation package you downloaded from Cisco.

Agree to accept the terms of the license and click Next. Optional Edit the name and select the folder location within the inventory where the Firepower Management Center Virtual will reside, and click Next. When the vSphere Client is connected directly to an ESXi host, the option to select the folder location does not appear. Select the host or cluster on which you want to deploy the Firepower Management Center Virtual and click Next.

Navigate to, and select the resource pool where you want to run the Firepower Management Center Virtual and click Next. Select a storage location to store the virtual machine files, and click Next. On this page, you select from datastores already configured on the destination cluster or host. The virtual machine configuration file and virtual disk files are stored on the datastore. Select a datastore large enough to accommodate the virtual machine and all of its virtual disk files.

Select the disk format to store the virtual machine virtual disks, and click Next. When you select Thick Provisioned , all storage is immediately allocated. When you select Thin Provisioned , storage is allocated on demand as data is written to the virtual disks. Select a network by right-clicking the Destination Networks column in your infrastructure to set up the network mapping and click Next.

If user-configurable properties are packaged with the OVF template VI templates only , set the configurable properties and click Next.

Review and verify the settings on the Ready to Complete window. Note: If you choose not to power on after deployment, you can do so later from the VMware console; see Initializing a Virtual Appliance. Booting up the new VM could take up to 30 minutes.

You might need to perform additional configuration after deployment to achieve Internet access and successful license registration. Use the VMware Virtual Machine Properties dialog box to adjust the host resource allocation for the selected virtual machine. You can also change the power-on connection setting, the MAC address, and the network connection for the virtual Ethernet adapter configuration for a virtual machine.

Right-click the name of your new virtual appliance, then choose Edit Settings from the context menu, or click Edit virtual machine settings from the Getting Started tab in the main window. The memory setting and the number of virtual CPUs for the appliance are listed on the left side of the window. To see the hard disk Provisioned Size , click Hard disk 1. Optionally, increase the memory and number of virtual CPUs by clicking the appropriate setting on the left side of the window, then making changes on the right side of the window.

Confirm the Network adapter 1 settings are as follows, making changes if necessary:. While we have not verified the apps ourselves yet, our users have suggested 3 different FMC openers which you will find listed below. These apps are known to open certain types of FMC files. Remember, different programs may use FMC files for different purposes, so you may need to try out a few of them to be able to open your specific file.

Try a universal file viewer like Free File Viewer. It can open over different types of files - and most likely yours too. Download Free File Viewer here. Not sure exactly what type of file you are trying to open? Try our new File Analyzer.
