To enable SSH access to a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) device from the inside interface for remote administration, the engineer needs to configure a Platform Settings policy in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC). The Platform Settings policy allows the configuration of various system-related settings, including enabling SSH, specifying the allowed interfaces, and defining the SSH access parameters.

Steps:

In FMC, navigate toPolicies > Access Control > Platform Settings.

Create a new Platform Settings policy or edit an existing one.

In the policy settings, go to theSSHsection.

Enable SSH and specify theinsideinterface as the allowed interface for SSH access.

Define the SSH parameters such as allowed IP addresses, user credentials, and other security settings.

Save and deploy the policy to the FTD device.

This configuration ensures that SSH access is enabled on the specified interface, allowing secure remote administration.
