After you restore an appliance, you must complete an initial setup process:
If you did not delete the appliance's license and network settings, you can use a computer on your
management network to browse directly to the appliance's web interface to perform the setup. For more

The baseboard management controller (BMC) for a Firepower 71xx, Firepower 82xx, or a Firepower or AMP
83xx device is only accessible via 1Gbps link speeds when the host is powered on. When the device is powered
down the BMC can only establish Ethernet link at 10 and 100Mbps. Therefore if LOM is being used to remotely
power the device, connect the device to the network using 10 and 100Mbps link speeds only.
