To ensure high availability of internet access when deploying a pair of Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) devices managed by Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC), the following features must be deployed:

Route Tracking:This feature monitors the reachability of a specified target (such as an external IP address) through the configured routes. If the route to the target is lost, the FTD can dynamically adjust the routing to use an alternate path, ensuring continuous internet access.

SLA Monitor:Service Level Agreement (SLA) monitoring works alongside route tracking to continuously verify the status and performance of the internet links. If the SLA for one of the ISP links fails (indicating the link is down or underperforming), the FTD can switch traffic to the secondary ISP link.

Steps to configure:

In FMC, navigate toDevices > Device Management.

Select the FTD device and configure route tracking to monitor the ISP links.

Configure SLA monitors to continuously check the health and performance of the internet circuits.

These configurations ensure that internet access remains available to users even if one of the ISPs goes down.

The protocol needed to exchange threat details in rapid threat containment (RTC) on Cisco FMC is MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport). This protocol:

• Enables real-time communication between FMC and managed devices
• Supports rapid dissemination of threat indicators and containment actions
• Provides lightweight messaging suitable for security event propagation
• Facilitates automated response to infected endpoints across the network

MQTT is the standard protocol used by Cisco for RTC workflows to quickly share threat intelligence and coordinate containment measures.

When you configure the Cisco Firepower devices to bypass the access control policies for VPN traffic, the devices will not inspect the VPN traffic and thus will not waste resources on it. This is the best option to ensure that the VPN traffic is not wasting resources on the Cisco Firepower devices.

When a QoS rule specifies a rate limit greater than the maximum throughput of an interface, the rule becomes ineffective. Since the interface's physical throughput limit is lower than the configured rate limit, all traffic will naturally stay below the rate limit anyway. Therefore, the QoS rule provides no practical rate-limiting benefit and essentially has no effect on traffic flow.
