To change the mode of a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) device in the Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) inventory, the engineer must follow these steps:

Register the Secure FTD with Secure FMC.

Change the firewall mode.

Deregister the Secure FTD device from Secure FMC.

To perform these actions, accessing the Secure FTD CLI from the console port is necessary. This allows the engineer to execute the required commands to change the firewall mode and manage the registration status of the FTD device.

Steps:

Connect to the Secure FTD device via the console port.

Access the CLI and execute the command to change the firewall mode (configure firewall-mode).

Deregister the device from FMC if needed.

Register or re-register the device with FMC as required.

Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense supports IPsec encryption between the failover links of a high-availability pair. During HA configuration, the engineer enables encryption and selects the appropriate Key Generation method for IPsec. This protects failover and stateful synchronization data exchanged between the active and standby units. An SSL remote-access VPN is designed for user-to-network connectivity and is not used to protect an internal HA link. SSL is also not the documented encryption mechanism for Threat Defense failover synchronization. Clearing a commit queue does not encrypt or otherwise protect synchronized state information. Cisco’s HA configuration procedure explicitly instructs administrators to enable the encryption option and choose the Key Generation method for IPsec encryption between the failover links. Therefore, option B directly implements the required synchronization-protection mechanism. Cisco Secure Firewall high-availability configuration
