Cisco Firepower 2100 Series-Deployment Options

You can deploy the Firepower 2100 in the following ways:

  • As a firewall:
    • At the enterprise Internet edge deployed in a high availability configuration
    • At branch offices in either an HA pair or standalone
  • As a device that provides additional application control, URL filtering, or IPS/threat-centric capabilities:
    • Behind an enterprise Internet edge firewall in an inline in a transparent bump-in-the-wire configuration or as a standalone (requires hardware fail open network module support)
    • Deployed passively off a SPAN port on a switch or a tap on a network, or standalone
  • As a VPN device:
    • For remote access VPN
    • For site-to-site VPN
Supported SFP/SFP+ Transceivers

First of all you should take note of the following warnings:

  • Warning: Statement 1053—Class 1M Laser Radiation; Class 1M laser radiation when open. Do not view directly with optical instruments.
  • Warning: Statement 1055—Class I and Class 1M Laser; Class I (CDRH) and Class 1M (IEC) laser products.
  • Warning: Statement 1056—Unterminated Fiber Cable

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye hazard.

  • Warning: Statement 1057—Hazardous Radiation Exposure

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

The SFP/SFP+ transceiver is a bidirectional device with a transmitter and receiver in the same physical package. It is a hot-swappable optical or electrical (copper) interface that plugs into the SFP/SFP+ ports on the fixed ports and the network module ports, and provides Ethernet connectivity.

1 Dust plug 2 Bail clasp
3 Receive optical bore 4 Transmit optical bore
  1. Warning: Use appropriate ESD procedures when inserting the transceiver. Avoid touching the contacts at the rear, and keep the contacts and ports free of dust and dirt. Keep unused transceivers in the ESD packing that they were shipped in.
  2. Note: The 1G transceivers are limited to 1GB operation only (no auto-negotiation support). 100M/10M modes are not supported.
  3. Caution: Although non-Cisco SFPs are allowed, we do not recommend using them because they have not been tested and validated by Cisco. Cisco TAC may refuse support for any interoperability problems that result from using an untested third-party SFP transceiver.
