Cable the Device (6.4)
To cable the recommended scenario on the Firepower 1010, see the following illustration, which shows a
sample topology using a Layer 2 switch.
Note
Other topologies can be used, and your deployment will vary depending on your requirements.
Figure 40: Cabling the Firepower 1010
Procedure
Step 1
Cable the following to a Layer 2 Ethernet switch:
• Inside interface (for example, Ethernet 1/2)
• Management 1/1 interface
• Firepower Management Center
• Management computer
Note
Step 2
Connect the management computer to the console port. You need to use the console port to access the CLI
for initial setup if you do not use SSH to the Management interface.
Step 3 Connect the outside interface (for example, Ethernet 1/1) to your outside router.

The Firepower 1010 and the FMC both have the same default management IP address: 192.168.45.45.
This guide assumes that you will set different IP addresses for your devices during initial setup.
Note that the FMC on 6.5 and later defaults to a DHCP client for the management interface; however,
if there is no DHCP server, it will default to 192.168.45.45.
