View onboarded On-Premises Firewall Management Center

This task enables you to view onboarded On-Premises Firewall Management Centers, manage high-availability pairs, and cross-launch directly to management center nodes.

Use this procedure when you need to access and manage onboarded On-Premises Firewall Management Centers in your Security Cloud Control Firewall Management environment. This includes viewing high-availability configurations and cross-launching to specific management center nodes.

Procedure

Step 1

From the Security Cloud Control Home page, click Firewall.

Step 2

Choose Administration > Integrations > Firewall Management Center.

Step 3

Click the FMC tab.

Step 4

View the On-Premises Firewall Management Center high-availability pair in the Services page.

When you expand the pair, you can see the primary and secondary On-Premises Firewall Management Center nodes and their current statuses.

Step 5

To cross-launch the active On-Premises Firewall Management Center, check the corresponding high-availability pair in the Services page.

Step 6

Click the option you want to open in On-Premises Firewall Management Center.

The Verify FMC Cross Launch URL window is displayed. By default, the public IP address or FQDN of the currently active On-Premises Firewall Management Center is shown and will be used to open On-Premises Firewall Management Center. If necessary, specify the URL of the standby On-Premises Firewall Management Center to launch it.

Step 7

To cross-launch to a specific On-Premises Firewall Management Center node, expand the high-availability pair and click primary or secondary On-Premises Firewall Management Center node you want to launch.

Step 8

In the External Links pane, click FMC Cross Launch URL to cross-launch the selected On-Premises Firewall Management Center.

To update the public IP address or the FQDN and the port number of your On-Premises Firewall Management Center hover over the FMC Cross Launch URL and click the edit icon.

Add cross-launch URLs to each On-Premises Firewall Management Center node. When you launch from the pair, only the active node is launches. Verifying which node is currently active is not necessary.

Note

If high availability is broken or roles are switched on On-Premises Firewall Management Center (version 7.4.x or earlier), disable the SecureX integration, then enable it again on the secondary On-Premises Firewall Management Center. To complete this task, navigate to the secondary On-Premises Firewall Management Center and choose the appropriate option.

If you break a high-availability On-Premises Firewall Management Center pair, the participating management centers become two standalone On-Premises Firewall Management Centers.

You can view and manage onboarded On-Premises Firewall Management Centers and cross-launch to either the active node in a high-availability pair or a specific management center node.
