Recently I ordered two new Cisco ASA 5506-X devices with Firepower Services. I had an issue that a lot of other people are having according to all of the forums and threads I read. Firepower services do require licenses and this pertains to people that have purchased licensing.
The problem = Missing Firepower tabs and/or Firepower Configuration button:
After I followed the proper cabling and initial configuration as recommended in the Cisco ASA 5506-X Quick Start Guide the Firepower tabs and Firepower Configuration button were not visible in ASDM and that left me unable to proceed with licensing. This is when the software started to feel buggy.
Cisco recommends going through the Startup Wizard. Yes that’s not a problem. The Startup Wizard is quite useful and for people that are new to the technology it eases their pain. Well it...
