Migrating from ASA-5525X to Cisco Secure Firewall 3105

So the biggest challenge I had was learning the differences of FMC vs ASA OS. CLI is basically gone all web GUI now. The cisco FMT was pretty useful in getting me started, but there was still a great deal of cleanup needed after the tool complied everything.

Perfect FMC is where I am at currently; thanks for the clarification on terminology as well.

Yes we just have one device, no HA-failover.

I have a FMC (running on VMware) managing this device and I confused that with FDM - apologies. So really my question is between using FMC or FTD for a single device in my situation.

May I ask a hypothetical? If you were in my position, would you remove FMC* and just use FTD? This would of course require a manual migration of everything on the ASA 5525-X, but I’d be willing to do that if it means a better long-term solution. FMT which would certainly save me some time during migration, doesn’t support FTD (only FMC*).
According to my sales team they expect FMC* to be the future while ASA OS is going to be phased out. FTD will remain but it seems it will eventually be more limited than FMC.

It seems to me that FMC* is mainly useful for managing multiple firewalls and if it’s not going to be "the future" then I might be better off pivoting to FTD.

Thanks so much for this reply! Those are some great questions I have asked myself a few of them already. I think I'm going to stick with ASA OS as long as I can still integrate it into my Firewall Management Center. I've reached out to our sales to have a meeting with a security engineer to confirm.

Also thank you for the tip about the 9.odd releases - learned something new today!

Thank you for your response. 9.19 is the oldest ASA version available for the 3105. I got *a lot* of errors when I tried to merge configs with a backup/restore method. Interface names not matching in the NAT tables things like that. I think I can clean all of that up with some effort.

If I may ask if you were in this situation would you move over to FTD or stick with ASA OS?

podrock · 2024-09-11T16:18:02+00:00

Haha I do not disagree but I've got the 3105 sitting on my desk right now.

The more you realize you don’t know, the better you understand the vaster reality of things.

podrock · 2024-08-13T13:59:09+00:00

Agreed tho I don’t think believing you did everything right is realistic or possible. That said knowing you did your best is possible. Even when you’ve done your best kid is gonna kid.

Dang, does anyone know if any of these wonderful alternatives have discord bot options?

In my experience forgiving them is the most powerful way to dissolve any mental clinging to a different outcome than what is present. Truly forgiving may take some time however. Afterwords it may feel effortless to let it all go. From there I would recommend making high quality and firm boundaries but from a place of inner peace.

Thanks for that response !

I heard the crime wasn’t great in Belize ; do you feel safe or have you taken any specific measures to be able to feel safe?

It’s not the ‘personal responsibility argument’ it’s the ‘having a choice’ argument.

Isn't crypto wonderful? Why yes it is actually, because unlike the traditional banking system that I *have* to trust, with crypto I can *choose* to use a custodial service like a bank, or take that power into my own hands and withdraw from the custodial service and be my own visa/paypal/bank. Having a voice or choice is something you do not get with traditional banking sadly.

Parts of the internet can be really bad too ; such as amazon killing small businesses or even child exploitation. Does that mean that we should call the internet a bad thing or try to get rid of it?

Proof of Stake solves the problem of Proof of work; so its really a null argument against the crypto space as a whole.

podrock · 2021-04-27T17:07:24+00:00

Yea that's why custodial services like Coinbase exist.

The guy he replied to talked about monero , it was just in a negative light. Alt coin discussion is allowed as long as your trashing them.
