Cisco Firepower Threat Defense for the ASA 5508-X and ASA 5516-X Using Firepower Management Center Quick Start Guide

6. Configure the Device for Firepower Management

The first time you access the CLI, a setup wizard prompts you for basic network configuration parameters that are
required to setup your Firepower Threat Defense device and to register with a Firepower Management Center.
Note that the management IP address and associated gateway route are not included on the Firepower
Management Center web interface in the list of interfaces or static routes for the device; they can only be set by
the setup script and at the CLI.
Before You Begin
Ensure that you connect a data interface to your gateway device, for example, a cable modem or router. For edge
deployments, this would be your Internet-facing gateway. For data center deployments, this would be a back-bone
router.
The Management interface must also be connected to a gateway through which the Internet is accessible. System
licensing and database updates require Internet access.
Procedure
1.
Connect to the device, either from the console port or using SSH, for example.
For a device attached to a monitor and keyboard, log in at the console.
For access to the management interface of the device, SSH to the Management interface's default IPv4
address: 192.168.45.45.
2.
Log in with the username admin and the password Admin123.
3.
When the Firepower Threat Defense system boots, a setup wizard prompts you for the following information
required to configure the system:
Accept EULA
New admin password
IPv4 or IPv6 configuration
IPv4 or IPv6 DHCP settings
Management port IPv4 address and subnet mask, or IPv6 address and prefix
System name
Default gateway IPv4, IPv6, or both
DNS setup
HTTP proxy
Management mode
4.
Review the setup wizard settings. Defaults or previously entered values appear in brackets. To accept
previously entered values, press Enter.
Example:
Please enter 'YES' or press <ENTER> to AGREE to the EULA:
System initialization in progress.
You must change the password for 'admin' to continue.
