When configuring a routed interface on Cisco Firepower Threat Defense, there are two interface settings that are required:

  1. Speed: The speed setting specifies the bandwidth of the interface, which is usually set to match the speed of the connected device. This ensures that packets are transmitted at the appropriate rate and helps prevent performance issues.

  2. Duplex: The duplex setting specifies how data is transmitted on the interface. It can be set to either full-duplex or half-duplex. Full-duplex allows data to be transmitted and received simultaneously, while half-duplex only allows one direction of data flow at a time. It is important to ensure that the duplex setting on the Firepower interface matches that of the connected device to avoid transmission errors.

Redundant Interface and EtherChannel are not required interface settings for configuring a routed interface. Redundant Interface is a feature that allows for automatic failover to a backup interface if the primary interface fails. EtherChannel is a feature that allows multiple physical interfaces to be combined into a single logical interface for increased bandwidth and redundancy. However, neither of these features are required when configuring a routed interface.

Media Type is also not a required interface setting for configuring a routed interface as it only applies to physical interfaces that support multiple types of media, such as copper or fiber.
