Dear Experts, <br />
<br />
I am at a client location today and they have a local server that will be accessing different sites with various ports. The client has ASA firewall and Cisco Firepower my question is do I add the access rules in Firepower or directly in ASA?<br />
<br />
I am always not sure and the client has no preference. <br />
<br />
Please let me know from your experience how to tackle this .<br />
<br />
Thanks,

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation.
