Using FDM and the REST API Together
When you set up the device in local management mode, you can configure the device using the FDM and the
Firepower Threat Defense REST API. In fact, the FDM uses the REST API to configure the device.
However, please understand that the REST API can provide additional features than the ones available through
the FDM. Thus, for any given feature, you might be able to configure settings using the REST API that cannot
appear when you view the configuration through the FDM.
If you do configure a feature setting that is available in the REST API but not in the FDM, and then make a
change to the overall feature (such as remote access VPN) using the FDM, that setting might be undone.
Whether an API-only setting is preserved can vary, and in many cases, API changes to settings not available
in the FDM are preserved through the FDM edits. For any given feature, you should verify whether your
changes are preserved.
In general, you should avoid using both the FDM and the REST API simultaneously for any given feature.
Instead, choose one method or the other, feature by feature, for configuring the device.
