Introduction to Firepower_Migration_Tool_v2.3.5-5464.exe
The Firepower_Migration_Tool_v2.3.5-5464.exe serves as Cisco’s official configuration migration utility for transitioning legacy ASA firewall policies and object groups to Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) 7.6+ deployments. This Windows-based application streamlines the conversion of ASA 9.16.x configurations into FTD-compatible JSON templates while preserving access control list (ACL) hierarchies and NAT rules.
Released in Q1 2025 as part of Cisco’s Unified Security Policy Framework initiative, this version introduces automated validation for hybrid environments combining physical ASA 5500-X appliances with Firepower 4100/9300 chassis. It supports migrations from ASA Software 9.12.4+ to FTD 7.4.2+ deployments managed through Firepower Management Center (FMC) 7.6.0 virtual appliances.
Key Features and Improvements
Enhanced Policy Conversion Accuracy
- 98% success rate in preserving ASA 5585-X VPN tunnel configurations
- Automatic resolution of conflicting object names in multi-context environments
Security Validation Engine
- Pre-migration detection of deprecated SHA-1 certificates in ASDM configurations
- TLS 1.3 compliance checks for migrated SSL inspection policies
Performance Optimizations
- 40% faster processing for configurations exceeding 10,000 ACL entries
- Parallel conversion of 5 ASA contexts simultaneously
Critical Bug Fixes
- Resolved JSON template corruption during IPv6 prefix-list migrations
- Fixed false-positive warnings for valid interface-group bindings
Compatibility and Requirements
| Category | Technical Specifications |
|---|---|
| Source Devices | ASA 5516-X, 5525-X, 5545-X (ASA OS 9.12.4+) |
| Target Systems | FTD 7.4.2+ on Firepower 4100/9300, FMCv 7.6.0+ |
