Power On The Device - Cisco Firepower 2100 Series Getting Started Manual

Power on the Device

• Ethernet 1/2—Connect your management computer directly to Ethernet 1/2 for initial configuration, or
You can later configure FDM management access from other interfaces; see the
Step 2 Connect the outside network to the Ethernet1/1 interface (labeled WAN).
Step 3
Connect other networks to the remaining interfaces.
Power on the Device
System power is controlled by a rocker power switch located on the rear of the device. The power switch is
implemented as a soft notification switch that supports graceful shutdown of the system to reduce the risk of
system software and data corruption.
Before you begin
It's important that you provide reliable power for your device (for example, using an uninterruptable power
supply (UPS)). Loss of power without first shutting down can cause serious file system damage. There are
many processes running in the background all the time, and losing power does not allow the graceful shutdown
of your system.
Procedure
Step 1 Attach the power cord to the device and connect it to an electrical outlet.
Step 2 Press the power switch on the back of the device.
Step 3
Check the PWR LED on the front of the device; if it is solid green, the device is powered on.
Step 4 Check the SYS LED on the front of the device; after it is solid green, the system has passed power-on
diagnostics.

connect Ethernet 1/2 to your inside network. 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
on page 4).
