Configuring Interfaces and Routing for Cisco Firewall Threat Defense Private Cloud Clustering Part 2

Join Cisco instructor Mark Brereton in Part 2 of our exploration into Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) private cloud clustering. This episode walks you through configuring cluster interfaces, assigning IP addresses, and enabling OSPF routing. Watch as Mark demonstrates best practices, reviews cluster status, sets up security zones, and tests routing to ensure seamless failover and optimal load balancing between cluster nodes. Whether you’re setting up your first FTD cluster or optimizing an existing deployment, this session provides practical guidance and insights into Cisco’s clustering architecture.
