Cisco Firepower 3100 Management Center

The Firepower Management Center (FMC) and the Firepower Device Manager (FDM), the two primary management interfaces provided by Cisco Firepower 3100, are each designed to meet specific requirements. FMC, a robust, centralized platform that enables you to manage everything from firewall policies to intrusion prevention and malware protection in one location, is the best option if you’re managing several firewalls throughout your network and want centralized control. Imagine having complete insight into users, apps, and threats. You can react to attacks with confidence and speed thanks to personalized recommendations and user-friendly dashboards. However, FDM is integrated into the box and provides a simple, user-friendly interface for local management if you’re working with a single Firepower 3100 device and would rather manage it directly without the need for an external management center.
