Cisco Firepower FPR-2140 Network Security/Firewall Appliance

The Cisco Firepower FPR-2140 is a cornerstone of Cisco’s Firepower 2100 Series, engineered to deliver robust, threat-focused security without compromising network performance. This 1U appliance blends next-generation firewall (NGFW) capabilities with integrated intrusion prevention, advanced malware protection, and centralized management, empowering mid-sized to large enterprise networks to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats. The FPR-2140 is designed to protect data centers, campus networks, and branch offices by combining high-assurance security with scalability and ease of deployment. Built to sustain security as your network grows, it leverages Cisco Talos threat intelligence, flexible licensing, and seamless integration with Cisco Secure technologies to provide a cohesive, adaptive defense that defends against known exploits and zero-day threats alike. Whether you’re consolidating security in a data center or extending threat protection to remote sites, the Firepower FPR-2140 offers a trusted foundation for comprehensive, policy-driven protection that aligns with modern IT operations and zero-trust security models.

  • Unified, multi-layered security: The FPR-2140 combines a stateful NGFW with integrated IPS, application visibility and control, URL filtering, and optional advanced malware protection to block threats across the entire network stack, from the edge to the data center. This consolidated approach reduces appliance sprawl and simplifies policy management while delivering stronger, more consistent enforcement than isolated security tools.
  • Advanced threat defense powered by threat intelligence: Leverage Cisco Talos threat intelligence to detect and block known and emerging threats. With inline malware protection, sandboxed analysis when available, and dynamic reputation scoring, organizations can respond quickly to new attack vectors, ransomware behavior, and command-and-control traffic before damage occurs.
  • High-performance, scalable security: The FPR-2140 is engineered to deliver sustained performance as security features are enabled, ensuring users experience low latency and predictable throughput even under load. This makes it suitable for data centers, enterprise campuses, and distributed networks that demand consistent protection without slowing business operations.
  • Centralized management and policy consistency: Manage multiple Firepower devices from a single interface using Firepower Management Center (FMC). Centralized policy creation, deployment, and logging simplify complex security postures, streamline compliance reporting, and enable rapid responses to incidents across distributed sites.
  • Flexible deployment options and licensing: The FPR-2140 supports various deployment modes (inline, passive, or high-availability configurations) and licensing models to match evolving security requirements. Whether you’re consolidating security in a campus data center or extending protection to remote branches, you can scale features such as AMP, URL filtering, VPN, and advanced threat protection to fit your needs.

How to install Cisco Firepower FPR-2140

  • Plan your deployment by defining network zones, security policies, and whether you will run inline, passive, or HA configurations. Ensure you have the correct FMC or management console ready for initial registration and ongoing policy management.
  • Rack-mount and connect: Install the FPR-2140 in a standard 19-inch rack, connect power, and wire the data and management interfaces to the appropriate networks (including connections to the management network and Firepower Management Center).
  • Initial hardware and software setup: Power on the appliance, access the initial setup interface, assign a management IP, configure time synchronization, and perform any available firmware updates to align with the latest security features and stability fixes.
  • Licensing and feature enablement: Install and apply required licenses for threat defense, AMP, URL filtering, VPN, and other modules. Confirm FMC has the correct licenses to centrally manage the device and enforce policies across your environment.
  • Policy creation and deployment: Create baseline security policies (access control, IPS rules, app visibility and control, and URL filtering). Use templates or reference policies to accelerate deployment, then push policies from FMC to the FPR-2140 and monitor enforcement in real time.
  • Monitoring, tuning, and maintenance: Configure logging targets (log servers or FMC), set up threat intelligence feeds, and schedule regular updates. Continuously monitor performance and adjust rules to maintain security without impacting user experience.
