Introduction to cisco-ftd-fp2k.7.3.0-69.SPA
The cisco-ftd-fp2k.7.3.0-69.SPA is a foundational system package for Firepower 2100/4100 Series appliances transitioning to Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) 7.3.0 operation mode. Released in Q2 2025, this software bundle integrates ASA firewall capabilities with Firepower Next-Generation IPS (NGIPS) to address CVE-2024-20481 – a critical denial-of-service vulnerability in RAVPN services. Designed for enterprises requiring NIST SP 800-218 compliance, it supports both fresh deployments and in-place conversions from ASA 9.16.x configurations.
Compatible with Firepower 2110/2120/4110/4140 hardware models, version 7.3.0-69 introduces hardware-accelerated threat inspection for 40Gbps throughput environments while maintaining backward compatibility with Firepower Management Center (FMC) 7.2.x clusters.
