Cisco FPR2110-K9 | Firepower 2110 Firewall, 12-Port Gigabit, 4x 1G SFP

Q: What software images does the FPR2110-K9 support?
A: The Firepower 2110 chassis supports both Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) for next-generation firewall capabilities and Cisco ASA software for traditional stateful inspection. The base appliance-only SKU does not include pre-loaded software and may require separate licensing depending on your deployment requirements.

Q: What is the difference between FPR2110-K9, FPR2110-ASA-K9, and FPR2110-NGFW-K9?
A: FPR2110-K9 is the base hardware chassis (typically used as a spare). FPR2110-ASA-K9 ships with ASA software pre-configured for stateful firewall functionality. FPR2110-NGFW-K9 ships with Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) software for advanced threat protection, IPS, and malware defense. All three use identical hardware.

Q: Can I add expansion modules to the FPR2110?
A: The Firepower 2110 and 2120 models do not have network module expansion slots. For modular expansion capability with additional interface options, consider the Firepower 2130 or 2140, which each include one network module bay.

Q: What deployment scenarios is the Firepower 2110 best suited for?
A: The FPR2110 is ideal for branch office perimeter security, distributed enterprise locations, SMB Internet edge deployments, and secure VPN connectivity. With 3 Gbps firewall throughput and support for 1 million concurrent sessions, it handles typical branch traffic loads while offering optional advanced threat defense capabilities.

Q: Does the FPR2110 support high availability?
A: Yes, the Firepower 2110 supports Active/Standby high availability configurations when running either FTD or ASA software. This requires two appliances and appropriate configuration via FMC (for FTD) or ASDM/CLI (for ASA).
