Introduction to Cisco_Firepower_Mgmt_Center-6.6.3-81-Restore.iso
This ISO recovery image provides full system restoration capabilities for Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) appliances running version 6.6.3-81. Designed for enterprise disaster recovery scenarios, it contains factory-default configurations and platform-specific firmware required to rebuild failed FMC hardware controllers. The 2024 Q2 release supports bare-metal restoration of both physical and virtual FMC deployments with cryptographic validation of backup archives.
Compatible with Firepower 1600/2600/4600 hardware appliances and FMCv300 virtual instances, this recovery package maintains backward compatibility with managed devices running FTD 6.4-7.2. System administrators should note the restoration process overwrites existing configurations – regular backups remain essential.

Cisco_Firepower_User_Agent_for_Active_Directory_2.4-1.zip: Legacy AD Integration Toolkit 2.4.1 Download Link
Introduction to Cisco_Firepower_User_Agent_2.4-1.zip
This deprecated authentication module enables user-IP mapping for Firepower platforms by monitoring Active Directory login events. Version 2.4.1 (released Q3 2021) represents the final update before Cisco’s official sunset of User Agent technology. While still functional with FMC 6.5-6.7, administrators should prioritize migration to Cisco ISE-PIC per Cisco’s end-of-support notice.
The toolkit supports:
- Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controllers
- Firepower Threat Defense 6.4-6.6
- ASA FirePOWER modules 5.4-6.2
Key Features and Limitations
-
Core Functionality
- Passive AD login monitoring
- IP-user mapping for access policies
- Encrypted communication with FMC
-
Technical Constraints
- Maximum 5 domain controllers
- No MFA/conditional access support
- Incompatible with Windows Server 2022
-
Migration Requirements
- ISE-PIC license entitlement
- Active Directory schema updates
- Policy conversion tools
Compatibility Matrix
| Component | Supported Versions |
|---|---|
| Active Directory | 2012 R2 – 2016 |
| Firepower Management | FMC 6.5-6.7 |
| Authentication Protocols | Kerberos AES-128 only |
| OS Platforms | Windows Server 2012 R2 |
Critical Advisory:
Cisco终止对User Agent的技术支持后，继续使用将导致：
- 安全策略执行漏洞
- 合规性审计失败风险
- 无法获取安全更新
Access and Migration Support
Both packages available at https://www.ioshub.net with:
- Historical version documentation
- Migration path analysis tools
- Cisco-verified checksums
Enterprise users requiring legacy system support should contact our compliance advisory team through the enterprise portal. All downloads include Cisco’s end-of-life migration guidelines.
