FPR4215-NGFW-K9 Description
FPR4215-NGFW-K9 is the Cisco Secure Firewall 4215 NGFW appliance in the Secure Firewall 4200 Series, built as a 1RU Threat Defense firewall for high-throughput edge and data center security services. Cisco identifies this SKU as the 4215 NGFW orderable appliance with two network module bays, eight fixed 1/10/25G SFP28 data ports, two 1/10/25G SFP28 management ports, and 256 GB of system memory. In the 4215 Threat Defense performance row, Cisco lists 65 Gbps for FW + AVC + IPS and NGIPS throughput, 15 million maximum concurrent sessions with AVC, 350K new connections per second with AVC, and 45 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput, with Firewall Management Center or Cisco Defense Orchestrator used for management.

Product Performance
Key Features
Cisco lists FPR4215-NGFW-K9 as the Secure Firewall 4215 next generation firewall chassis, so the ASA and NGIPS PIDs should stay separate in the purchasing file.
Cisco introduced Secure Firewall 4215 for Threat Defense 7.4.0 and states that these devices must be managed with Firewall Management Center rather than device manager.
The 4215 belongs to the Secure Firewall 4200 Series, with a 1RU rack form factor, front-to-rear airflow, 256 GB system memory, and two 1.8 TB SSDs shipped in RAID1.
The appliance provides eight fixed 1/10/25G SFP28 fiber data ports, so fixed-port optic selection must follow Cisco’s supported transceiver tables.
Two hot-swappable network module slots support Cisco-listed 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G, 200G, 400G, and fail-to-wire module options.
Cisco’s ordering guide identifies the 4215 with single AC default power and optional dual AC, making redundant power a separate BOM decision for this model.
Application Scenarios
Use FPR4215-NGFW-K9 when the approved design calls for a Secure Firewall 4215 NGFW appliance and the sizing file fits the 65 Gbps Threat Defense row.
Select this SKU when the appliance starts with eight fixed 1/10/25G SFP28 fiber ports and the interface plan may later add Cisco-listed network modules.
Choose the NGFW PID when the deployment will use Threat Defense management and inspection features rather than the FPR4215-ASA-K9 ASA orderable chassis.

- In a FPR4215-NGFW-K9 vs FPR4215-ASA-K9 comparison, the hardware base is the same 4215 1RU Secure Firewall 4200 chassis, but the orderable software role changes from Threat Defense / NGFW to Cisco Secure ASA.
- The FPR4215-NGFW-K9 difference from FPR4225-NGFW-K9 is model scale: FPR4225-NGFW-K9 raises memory to 512 GB, FW + AVC + IPS throughput to 80 Gbps, AVC sessions to 30 million, and new connections with AVC to 600K.
- For buyers comparing FPR4215-NGFW-K9 vs FPR4215-ASA-K9, which model to choose depends on whether the project requires Threat Defense management and NGFW inspection metrics or an ASA chassis identity.
- In a FPR4215-NGFW-K9 vs FPR4225-NGFW-K9 comparison, keep the 4215 SKU when the sizing worksheet fits the 65 Gbps NGFW row and move to 4225 only for the higher entries shown in the table.
Selection Guide
1. Match the software role first
Select FPR4215-NGFW-K9 only when the design explicitly names the Secure Firewall 4215 NGFW appliance or Threat Defense operation.
2. Size from the 4215 Threat Defense row
Use this SKU for projects that fit 65 Gbps FW + AVC + IPS throughput, 15 million AVC sessions, 350K new connections per second with AVC, and 45 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput.
3. Do not substitute the ASA PID
Use FPR4215-ASA-K9 only when the approved design needs Cisco Secure ASA behavior, ASA release planning, or ASDM-based local management.
4. Raise the model only for confirmed capacity demand
Move to FPR4225-NGFW-K9 when the procurement file requires the 4225 memory, session, connection, VPN, or dual-default-power entries.
Ordering Checklist
|
Review Area |
Required Decision |
Source-Based Risk |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact chassis PID |
Confirm FPR4215-NGFW-K9 rather than FPR4215-ASA-K9 or FPR4215-NGIPS-K9 |
Cisco publishes separate 4215 PIDs for NGFW, ASA, and NGIPS orderable identities |
|
Threat Defense management |
Confirm Firewall Management Center or Cisco Defense Orchestrator in the deployment plan |
Cisco release notes state Secure Firewall 4200 devices do not support device manager |
|
Fixed-port optics |
Select supported SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 optics for the eight fixed ports |
Cisco publishes fixed-port transceiver support and first supported releases |
|
Network module plan |
Match the required 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G, 200G, 400G, or fail-to-wire module |
Module choice affects supported optics and release checks |
|
Regional power cords |
Confirm country-specific C21 cords or jumper cords |
Rack installation depends on approved Secure Firewall 4200 cord options |
