I hope you are all doing well and continuing to stay safe. Today I wanted to drop a quick *how to* on how to Whitelist IP addresses in Cisco’s FMC. So, without further of do, lets get to work! 1. Log in to FMC and navigate to the “***Analysis***” tab  ***Connections/Events***.   ![Whitelist/Blacklist IP’s and URL’s in FMC](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-20-2021-08-13-40-30-PM.png?width=300&name=image-png-Dec-20-2021-08-13-40-30-PM.png) - This will show you a list of IP’s and URL’s that FMC, is seeing.   2. Next, right click on any IP address you want to either Whitelist or Blacklist. This will bring up a dropdown menu that should show you an option to Whitelist or Blacklist the IP. It will then ask you to confirm. ![Whitelist/Blacklist IP’s and URL’s in FMC](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-20-2021-08-14-19-88-PM.png?width=535&height=206&name=image-png-Dec-20-2021-08-14-19-88-PM.png) 3. You can verify the added Whitelist IP by going to the ***Objects*** tab* > ****Object Management**** > ****Security Intelligence*** *(****On left side pane****) > ****Network Lists and Feed*** *> ****Global-Whitelist*** *> ****edit*** *(pencil icon).*   (***Please see screenshot below***) - You can either double click on “***Global-Whitelist***” or click the edit pencil on the far right to view the list of Whitelisted IP’s.   ![Whitelist/Blacklist IP’s and URL’s in FMC](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-20-2021-08-14-48-22-PM.png?width=435&height=418&name=image-png-Dec-20-2021-08-14-48-22-PM.png) A second way to do this is the following: 1. Create a Text file listing all the IP addresses you would like to White/Blacklist and Save locally to your PC.   2. Log into FMC and go to ***Objects ***> ***Object Manageme***nt > ***Security Intelligence*** > ***Network Lists and Feed*** > click ***Add Network Lists and Feeds*** on the top right of the screen.   - Here you can create a name for the list of IP’s you made. - In the second dropdown menu, choose the option “***List***”. - Now, click “***Browse***” and search for the list you created on your local PC. - Click “***Upload***” and ***Save***.   ![Whitelist/Blacklist IP’s and URL’s in FMC](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Dec-20-2021-08-16-22-46-PM.png)   3. Now, go to the ***Policies*** tab on top of the page***> ******Access Control*** *> *Click on your Access Control Policy.  ![Whitelist/Blacklist IP’s and URL’s in FMC](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Dec-20-2021-08-16-22-83-PM.png)   - After clicking on your Access Control Policy, click on the ***Security Intelligence*** tab on the upper left.![Whitelist/Blacklist IP’s and URL’s in FMC](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-20-2021-08-16-22-95-PM.png?width=535&height=39&name=undefined-Dec-20-2021-08-16-22-95-PM.png)   - Under the “***Available Objects***” list on the far left, search for the name of the list you created. It should now come up as an item on the list.   - Click the name of the list you created and in the middle of the page, you will see two options like below:   ![Whitelist/Blacklist IP’s and URL’s in FMC](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Dec-20-2021-08-16-22-65-PM.png) - Finally, click ***Save***. You can now deploy your changes to the FTD’s.   Not too bad right? Like I said, short and simple.
