About the Cisco Firepower 9300 FPR9K-SM-24 Cisco Firepower NGFW / management appliance

The Cisco Firepower 9300 FPR9K-SM-24 is a high-performance security module engineered for enterprise-class network defense. This blade module installs into the Cisco Firepower 9300 chassis (a 3-RU form factor supporting up to 3 security modules) and delivers carrier-grade throughput with 24 Intel x86 processor cores. Network security architects and infrastructure teams deploy this module to consolidate threat detection, prevention, and policy enforcement across mission-critical environments.

Built on the Cisco Firepower Next-Generation Firewall platform, the FPR9K-SM-24 supports both Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) and Cisco ASA software images, offering flexible deployment options. The module combines stateful firewall inspection, Next-Generation IPS, Application Visibility and Control, URL filtering, TLS/SSL decryption, and AMP for Networks threat protection—all powered by real-time Cisco Talos threat intelligence. Clustering capabilities enable intra-chassis redundancy (up to 3 modules) or inter-chassis scaling (up to 6 chassis with 16 modules total), with Active/Active and Active/Standby stateful failover for continuous availability. Management is delivered through Cisco Firepower Management Center, Firepower Device Manager, or REST API. The module meets Common Criteria, FIPS 140-2, and UC APL regulatory requirements when configured per guidance.
