Introduction to Cisco_Firepower_Mgmt_Center_Virtual300_VMware-6.6.4-59.tar.gz Software
The Cisco Firepower Management Center Virtual 300 (FMCv300) serves as the centralized command hub for Cisco’s next-generation firewall ecosystem. This VMware-optimized virtual appliance (version 6.6.4-59) enables unified management of physical and virtual Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) devices across hybrid environments. Designed for mid-to-large enterprises, it provides granular control over security policies, intrusion prevention, and advanced malware protection through a single management pane.
As the virtual counterpart to Cisco’s physical Firepower 4100/9300 series appliances, FMCv300 maintains full feature parity while offering deployment flexibility in VMware ESXi environments (6.5-8.0). The package contains the complete software image for deploying or upgrading management consoles in virtualized infrastructure.
