Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 4000 Installationsanleitung

Before you load or perform a fresh install of Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series, you 

must uninstall 

any previous versions and remove any existing Cisco software packages from the CPM. For information 
on uninstalling a previous version of the software, see the documentation delivered with that version.

Note that after you uninstall a previous version of Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series, you must restart 
the VAP. This process can last several minutes. After you restart the VAP, load the most recent software 
version.

After you complete and verify the installation, you must:

Set up licensing and communication between Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series and the Cisco 
Defense Center. For more information, see 

Log into to the Cisco Support site (

http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html

) and check for 

updates to the FireSIGHT System. The release notes accompanying the update include instructions for 
installing the new software.

Pre-staging allows you to install Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series on your CPM before all APM 
hardware is available. This is useful to prepare for additional hardware. When you pre-stage Cisco 
NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series, the application installation runs on the CPM as if the APM were 
available. When you pre-stage your installation, confirm the following: 

there are more VAPs than APMs assigned to the VAP group

the 

vap-count

 equals or exceeds the 

max-load-count

the VAP must be running 

xslinux_v5_64

 for FireSIGHT System, Version 5.4

For more information on the 

vap-count

 and the 

max-load-count

, see 

Keep in mind the capability for pre-staged application support while installing, uninstalling, and 
monitoring Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series.

The Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series installation is hosted on a VAP group that contains a 
management circuit to communicate with the managing Defense Center and sensing interfaces to pass 
traffic.

Set up a Virtual Application Processor (VAP) group where you want to install Cisco NGIPS for Blue 
Coat X-Series.

Create and configure the management circuits, and give each VAP in the VAP group a unique IP address.

Create and configure bridges and circuits to use as sensing circuits.

Assign the management and sensing circuits to the appropriate network interfaces.

For more information on how to perform each of these steps, see the following sections:
