The video walks you through the rest of Cisco FireSight System web interface that have not been covered in the previous videos. The goal is to make you feel comfortable navigating around the web interface while we explore all the menu options. You should gain a good sense of where things are located by the end of the lab.

The video shows you how to perform a software update on Cisco FireSight System and ASA FirePower managed device. We will cover both methods of getting an update file into the system via online file download and offline manual upload. We will also update the vulnerability database and review Rule and Gelocation updates completed in the previous video.

The video introduces you to Cisco ASA FirePower managed device licensing and shows you how to add a FirePower device to Cisco FireSight System. We will begin to redirect network traffic to the ASA FirePower and explain the differences between Passive (Monitor-Only) mode and Inline mode. We will also get to see traffic information being displayed on our FireSight System dashboard for the first time.

The video takes you through the first look of our freshly installed Cisco FireSight system web interface and shows recommended post-installation configuration including FireSight license install, Health Policy, System Policy, System Alerting, and System Updates. This will serves as a base configuration for our subsequent videos.

The video walks you through an installation procedure for Cisco FireSight System virtual appliance, and system configuration wizard to setup basic network parameters. We will have access to the FireSight web interface at the end of this video. Familiarity with VMware ESXi is recommended.

The video gets you started on software installation of Cisco ASA FirePower service module and prepare it to be a managed device that will be added later to a FireSight system. The lab assumes no existing FirePower software installation or that you want to replace the previous IPS or CX services on the ASA.

The video talks you through steps to upgrade Cisco PRSM server and ASA CX from version 9.2 to 9.3. We will be using web interface to perform the upgrade and explain its benefit over command line. We will also be discussing specifics of upgrade throughout this video to help you avoid any possible gotchas. Most importantly, you can get the sense of how long the whole upgrade process may take.

The video shows you the procedure to manually backup and restore configuration on Cisco PSRM server and ASA CX via command line. From this, you will know what to expect should you ever need to whether revert back config changes or recover from a disaster.

The video demonstrates NG IPS capability of Cisco ASA CX. We will go through IPS Profile configuration, threat level adjustment, and available threat response actions. We will test our configuration by simulating a bot communication attempt to an IRC server using an IRC client. You will get to see CX IPS in action in this video.
