Everyone, I don't know enough about the Cisco FTD.
Please I need help.
Can you backup the configuration on the FTD? (through NCM)?
I am currently using a UnDP for this. Thanks to ecklerwr1!
Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Thanks much,
Cheryl
I noticed that you haven't received a reply since posting and I just finished configuring Solarwinds to backup configuration on an FTD device. First thing I did was to download this template:
Cisco Firepower Threat Defense FTD-1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.2320.ConfigMgmt-Commands
In Solarwinds, I imported the template and then configured the node to use it rather than auto determination. Once that was in, I selected the manage node with NCM and used the credentials that I created for it (username: admin, password: ******23). Of course I tested in the edit node and once I successfully ran the test, I went and actually tried it out and it was successful in downloading the FTD configuration.
Hope this helps albeit it is almost 2 years since you posted the question.
What all is included in your FTD backups via NCM?
We've been told that CLI based backups do not get the actual config.
I was evaluating ways to monitor FMC and the FTD Via NMC and found your comment.
what I am not clear from your comment is that what device's user name and password used ? is it on FMC or FTD directly ?
on the template script - my apologies this sounds lame question- what is is the role of commands such as reset , erase like "EraseConfig" Value="write erase${CRLF}Yes" used for ?
Generally what is needed in configuration back up is to login to system , grab configuration file and download .
Hi, Yes. we can take a backup of FTD devices using NCM.
We have to create separate template for that.
Thanks

Hi Priya
Is the template you used the same as this one or is it different?
This one is not working for me . Could you please share the same with me
