Apply Migration Now

Note
Before applying the migration on a device, check whether the device is in synced state.

You can apply the FDM template to any device, review the device template, and deploy to the device later by selecting the FDM-managed device.

Procedure

Step 1

Select Apply Migration Now.

  1. From the Select FTD Device drop-down list, select the FDM-managed device for which you want to apply the FDM device template.

    The device state must be "Synced" with "Online" connectivity.

  2. Click Select to select the FDM-managed device.

Step 2

Click Next.

Step 3

For more information on mapping ASA Interfaces with FDM-managed devices, see Map ASA Interfaces with Firewall Threat Defense Interfaces.

Step 4

  • Click the Save migrated configuration as a template check box.

    Note
    This check box is displayed only when the FDM template is applied successfully and is checked by default.

    If the check box is unchecked, the FDM template is not saved.

    If you encounter any error while applying the FDM template, navigate to Device > Workflows to view the errors and address the issues.
