Vra Automation With Cisco Firepower

[telesguilherme]

Hello,

I am working to find a solution to automate VMWARE Vra and provide Cisco Firepower rules.

The automation will be focused and provided simply by vmware Vra and Vro.

I have found Cisco ACI integration plugin. But only there to Vmware Vra and Vro.

Anyone has any ways of doing that ?

If it has an API, you can probably automate it with vRO and the REST plug-in, although nothing comes out of the box.

Looks like it has a REST API: https://developer.cisco.com/firepower/management-center/

First create the vRO workflows providing the functions you want to automate. Some guidance in the official documentation: Using the HTTP-REST Plug-In

Then you need to create XaaS blueprints to invoke your workflows, if you want to manage the rules itself. If you want to include them in a VM lifecycle, then you'll need to start your workflows via Event Broker Subscriptions of the IaaS deployments.
