The LOM feature allows you to perform a limited set of actions on a Firepower Management Center
or Firepower device using a SOL connection. If you need to restore a LOM-capable appliance to
factory defaults and do not have physical access to the appliance, you can use LOM to perform the
restore process. After you connect to an appliance using LOM, you issue commands to the restore

the management interface to a protected network segment.
If you plan to perform the initial setup process by connecting a computer directly to the appliance's
management interface, you will connect the management interface to the protected network when you
finish setup.
For a Firepower device, connect the sensing interfaces to the network segments you want to analyze
Step 4
using the appropriate cables for your interfaces:
Copper Sensing Interfaces: If your device includes copper sensing interfaces, make sure you use the
•
appropriate cables to connect them to your network; see
Interfaces, page
• Fiber Adapter Card: For devices with a fiber adapter card, connect the LC connectors on the optional
multimode fiber cable to two ports on the adapter card in any order. Connect the SC plug to the
network segment you want to analyze.
Fiber Tap: If you are deploying the device with an optional fiber optic tap, connect the SC plug on
•
the optional multimode fiber cable to the "analyzer" port on the tap. Connect the tap to the network
segment you want to analyze.
