Step 4 Connect to the FTD CLI.
connect ftd
Example:
firepower# connect ftd

Step 5
The first time you log in to FTD, you are prompted to accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) and,
if using an SSH connection, to change the admin password. You are then presented with the CLI setup script
for the Management interface settings.
The Management interface settings are used even though you are enabling FMC access on a data interface.
Note
Defaults or previously entered values appear in brackets. To accept previously entered values, press Enter.
See the following guidelines:
• Configure IPv4 via DHCP or manually?—Choose manual. Although you do not plan to use the
Management interface, you must set an IP address, for example, a private address. You cannot configure
a data interface for management if the management interface is set to DHCP, because the default route,
which must be data-interfaces (see the next bullet), might be overwritten with one received from the
DHCP server.
• Enter the IPv4 default gateway for the management interface—Set the gateway to be data-interfaces.
This setting forwards management traffic over the backplane so it can be routed through the FMC access
data interface.
• If your networking information has changed, you will need to reconnect—If you are connected with
SSH, you will be disconnected. You can reconnect with the new IP address and password if your
management computer is on the management network. You will not be able to reconnect yet from a
remote network due to the default route change (through the data interfaces). Console connections are
not affected.
You cannot repeat the CLI setup wizard unless you clear the configuration; for example, by reimaging.
However, all of these settings can be changed later at the CLI using configure network commands.
See the FTD command reference.
