Integrate on-premises Firepower 8350 with FMCv300 AMI

[tiangeng-li]

Hi all,

is there any restriction when I integrate Firepower 8350 with FMCv300 AWS Machine Image? the FMCv300 firmware version is 7.4.1-172, but the Firepower firmware version is 6.x.

Additionally, If I wanna configure HA between FMCv300, is it possible to use layer 3 interfaces as HA interfaces?

Thank you,

 If I wanna configure HA between FMCv300

check HA guide :

Based on the Configuration Guide, it seems like there is no need of creating dedicated interface for HA, the Management Interface can be used as production and HA, but is there a way to create a dedicated interface for HA such as heartbeat interface on FMC?

How frequent does the synchronization happen between Primary and Secondary FMC? What else the FMC will synchronize beside configuration?

Thank you.
