By default, only the Management 1/1 interface is enabled and configured with an IP address (192.168.45.45).
This interface also runs a DHCP server initially; after you select FMC as the manager during initial setup, the
DHCP server is disabled. You can configure other interfaces after you connect the FTD to FMC.
See the following sample network deployments for ideas on how to place your FTD device in your network.
Separate Management Network
The FMC can only communicate with the FTD on the management interface. Moreover, both the FMC and
FTD require internet access from management for licensing and updates.
The following figure shows a possible network deployment for the Firepower 2100 where the FMC and
management computer connect to the management network. The management network has a path to the
internet for licensing and updates.
