Firepower Threat Defense Hidden CLI
#FTD Quick Tips | Accessing the #ASA CLI in #Firepower Threat Defense
Cisco's Threat Defense can run an ASA firewall, but looks very different, especially if you manage it in FMC.
It is partly built on the traditional ASA code, and an advantage of that is that you can still access the old ASA CLI.
The trick is to SSH to FTD, and then enter the command 'system support diagnostic-cli'.
There are limitations though. This can be used for diagnostics, and to look at the running-config, but you can't configure from here. You still need to rely on external tools for that.
