Onboard an FDM-Managed High Availablity Pair with a Registration Key

Be aware of the following prerequisites before you onboard an FDM-managed High Availability (HA) pair with a registration key:

  • Onboarding devices that are running version 6.4 with a registration key is only supported for the US region (https://us.manage.security.cisco.com). To connect to the EU region (https://eu.manage.security.cisco.com) they must onboard their HA pair with username, password, and IP address.

  • Customers running version 6.5 or later, and connecting either to the US, EU, or APJ regions can use this method of onboarding.

  • Devices running version 6.4 and 6.5 must not be registered with Cisco Smart Software Manager before onboarding them with a registration key. You will need to unregister the smart licenses of those FDM-managed devices before onboarding them to Security Cloud Control. See Unregister a Smart-licensed FDM-Managed Device for more information.
