SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 184

A consultant is working on a project where the customer is upgrading from a single Cisco Firepower 2130 managed by FDM to a pair of Cisco Firepower 2130s managed by FMC for high availability. The customer wants the configuration of the existing device being managed by FDM to be carried over to FMC and then replicated to the additional device being added to create the high availability pair. Which action must the consultant take to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. The current FDM configuration must be configured by hand into FMC before the devices are registered.
• B. The current FDM configuration must be migrated to FMC using the Secure Firewall Migration Tool.
• C. The FTD configuration must be converted to ASA command format, which can then be migrated to FMC.
• D. The current FDM configuration will be converted automatically into FMC when the device registers.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Secure Firewall Migration Tool is specifically designed to facilitate the migration of configurations from FDM to FMC. Option A is incorrect as manual configuration is not necessary, and Option C is invalid because converting to ASA command format is not relevant in this context. Option D is also incorrect since automatic conversion does not occur during device registration.
