Reads the export, not the device
ConfigProof reads a configuration export. This control is evaluated against the objects in that file, and it reports what the file says. It does not connect to the device and sees no traffic, so a finding here describes the configuration, not what the firewall is doing right now.
Why it matters
End-of-sale hardware loses software maintenance and then support; replacement needs planning.
How to fix it
Web interface
The steps below are written for the web interface. A finding raised on your own export carries the same steps with your object names filled in.
- Plan the migration to the replacement platform Cisco names in the notice (FPR2100 to Secure Firewall 3100, FPR4100 and FPR9300 modules to Secure Firewall 4200). There is no configuration fix.
Command line
This analyzer version writes no command text for this control. The steps above are the remediation it offers.
How to confirm the fix
- Check the end of vulnerability support date in the notice, which bounds how long the platform can stay.
Limits
- The dates are Cisco's published notice dates; a model missing from ConfigProof's date table is not judged.
Compliance references
No benchmark recommendation is mapped to this control in this version.
