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 your management computer directly to Management 1/1
or servers you specify during setup
• Data interfaces—Obtained from outside DHCP, or a gateway IP address you specify during setup
• Management interface—Over the backplane and through the data interfaces
Note that the FTD requires internet access for licensing and updates.
for initial configuration, or connect Management 1/1 to your management network. Management 1/1 has
a default IP address (192.168.45.45) 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 Default Configuration, on page
