2. Complete Detailed Product Overview

Product Line Positioning

The Cisco FPR4110-NGFW-K9 is the baseline modular rack appliance in the Firepower 4100 generation, positioned below FPR4120, FPR4140 and FPR4150 higher-performance modular models. It adopts a standard 19-inch 1RU rack form factor with dual independent NetMod expansion slots (unique to the entire 4100 series, two bays vs single NM-2 bay on Secure Firewall 3100), native 8×10G SFP+ fixed fiber ports, single 12-core split dual-processor architecture (Intel general CPU + Cavium NPU dedicated to crypto/threat inspection) and base 64GB DDR4 memory for medium enterprise workloads.

The split dual-chip design segregates firewall forwarding and heavy security offload tasks to avoid throughput degradation when IPS, AVC application control, TLS decryption and AMP malware sandbox run simultaneously. Factory pre-installed Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) NGFW stack as primary firmware, while retaining native ASA OS compatibility for legacy ASA hardware migration projects.

The K9 suffix delivers permanent Security Plus unrestricted licensing, removing weak DES encryption limitations and unlocking full enterprise feature set including expanded 250 multi-context virtualization, unlimited TLS proxy sessions, complete dual-mode high availability and 1024 VLAN capacity, outperforming discontinued Firepower 2100 fixed-port appliances. Cisco has fully ended production of the Firepower 4100 series, replaced by the Secure Firewall 4112/4115 modern refresh platform.
