Prerequisites to use Policy Analyzer and Optimizer

Before you use Policy Analyzer and Optimizer, verify the prerequisites that apply to your policy type and data source.

  • The On-Premises Firewall Management Center must be integrated with Security Cloud Control.

    Note

    In the On-Premises Firewall Management Center, navigate to Integration > Cisco Security Cloud and check the Enable Policy Analysis & Optimization checkbox after integrating with the Cisco Security Cloud.

  • The Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center must be provisioned in Security Cloud Control Firewall Management.

Prerequisites to use Policy Analyzer and Optimizer for access control policy

  • Access control policy analysis is supported on the On-Premises Firewall Management Center operating on Version 7.2 or later. The Cisco-suggested Version is 7.6 or later, because these versions support cross-launch to Policy Analyzer and Optimizer directly from On-Premises Firewall Management Center.

  • Access control policy to be analyzed must be associated with a Firewall Threat Defense device that is managed by an On-Premises Firewall Management Center integrated with Security Cloud Control.
