Manage the Firepower 2100 on either Management 1/1 or Ethernet 1/2. The default configuration also
configures Ethernet1/1 as outside.
Procedure
Step 1
Connect your management computer to either of the following interfaces:
• Management 1/1 (labeled MGMT)—Connect Management 1/1 to your management network, and make
• Ethernet 1/2—Connect your management computer directly to Ethernet 1/2 for initial configuration. Or
You can later configure ASA management access from other interfaces; see the
configuration
Step 2 Connect the outside network to the Ethernet1/1 interface (labeled WAN).
sure your management computer is on—or has access to—the management network. Management 1/1
obtains an IP address from a DHCP server on your management network; if you use this interface, you
must determine the IP address assigned to the ASA so that you can connect to the IP address from your
management computer.
connect Ethernet 1/2 to your inside network; make sure your management computer is on the inside
network, because only clients on that network can access the ASA. Ethernet 1/2 has a default IP address
(192.168.1.1) and also runs a DHCP server to provide IP addresses to clients (including the management
computer), so make sure these settings do not conflict with any existing inside network settings (see
Firepower 2100 Appliance Mode Default Configuration, on page
guide.
