Product Performance
Key Features
Cisco lists FPR2120-NGFW-K9 as the Firepower 2120 1RU NGFW appliance PID, keeping it separate from the FPR2120-ASA-K9 ASA order path.
The appliance uses twelve RJ-45 10M/100M/1GBASE-T data ports and four fixed 1G SFP ports, giving buyers a fixed interface plan without a network module slot.
The 2120 NGFW entry raises FW + AVC, FW + AVC + IPS, IPS, TLS, session, and VPN values above the 2110 row while staying below the 2130 row.
Cisco documents no network module bay for Firepower 2120, so designs needing SFP+ uplinks or fail-to-wire module options should be checked against 2130 or 2140 hardware.
Threat Defense licensing uses Smart Software Licensing, with the Base license included automatically and optional Threat, Malware, URL, and RA VPN licensing handled separately.
The 2120 uses a single integrated 250W AC power supply and fixed fans, so site power, regional cords, and spare-chassis planning should be reviewed before shipment.
Application Scenarios
Place FPR2120-NGFW-K9 in edge firewall projects where the design has already chosen Threat Defense and the Cisco 2120 values cover inspection load, session count, and VPN peer planning.
Order this appliance when the cabling schedule is built around twelve copper Gigabit interfaces plus four 1G SFP uplinks, with no request for an added network module.
Keep this NGFW line on the BOM when operations, licenses, and asset tags must follow Threat Defense; an ASA operating model should point to the separate FPR2120-ASA-K9 PID.

- In a FPR2120-NGFW-K9 vs FPR2120-ASA-K9 comparison, the hardware model and fixed interface layout match, but Cisco separates the NGFW appliance PID from the ASA appliance PID.
- The FPR2120-NGFW-K9 difference from FPR2110-NGFW-K9 is the 2120 Threat Defense sizing row: NGFW throughput, IPS throughput, sessions with AVC, new connections, VPN throughput, and VPN peer count all increase.
- For FPR2120-NGFW-K9 vs FPR2130-NGFW-K9, the comparison changes both scale and hardware expansion because the 2130 adds fixed 10G SFP+ ports, one network module bay, and higher Threat Defense capacity values.
- Buyers deciding which model to choose should first confirm Threat Defense versus ASA, then match the required 2100 Series performance row, SFP speed, and network module requirement.
Selection Guide
1. Start with the software image
Keep FPR2120-NGFW-K9 only when the deployment standard names Threat Defense / NGFW on Firepower 2120; ASA runbooks should use the separate ASA PID.
2. Match the 2120 capacity band
Use this line when the design fits the 3.4 Gbps FW + AVC + IPS value, 1.5 million AVC session entry, and 3500 VPN peer row documented for the 2120.
3. Check the physical uplink limit
The 2120 stays in the 1G SFP fixed-port class, so projects asking for SFP+ uplinks or a network module bay should be reviewed against FPR2130-NGFW-K9.
4. Separate chassis and entitlement work
Pair the appliance with the required Smart Account registration and subscription term because optional Threat, Malware, URL, and RA VPN features are license-controlled.
Ordering Checklist
|
Review Area |
Required Decision |
Source-Based Risk |
|---|---|---|
|
Software image lock |
Record the order as Threat Defense / NGFW and avoid an ASA substitution |
Cisco publishes distinct 2120 NGFW and ASA appliance PIDs |
|
2120 capacity row |
Check 3.4 Gbps FW + AVC + IPS, 1.5 million AVC sessions, and 3500 VPN peers against the sizing file |
A 2110 or 2130 line changes the Cisco performance row |
|
1G SFP optics |
Select Cisco-listed fixed-port SFP PIDs for the four SFP interfaces |
The 2120 fixed ports are not the 10G SFP+ ports used by 2130 and 2140 models |
|
Expansion request |
Confirm that the BOM does not require a network module bay or fail-to-wire module |
Firepower 2120 is a fixed-port appliance with no module bay |
|
Subscription package |
Attach the needed TMC term or other license order path to the Smart Account plan |
Optional security services remain controlled by licensing after the appliance is registered |
|
Install kit and power |
Choose the approved regional power cord and rack hardware for a single fixed AC power design |
The 2120 has no redundant field-replaceable power supply option |
