(Optional) Check The Software And Install A New Version - Cisco Firepower 1100 Getting Started Manual

(Optional) Check the Software and Install a New Version

Note
(Optional) Check the Software and Install a New Version
To check the software version and, if necessary, install a different version, perform these steps. We recommend
that you install your target version before you configure the firewall. Alternatively, you can perform an upgrade
after you are up and running, but upgrading, which preserves your configuration, may take longer than using
this procedure.
What Version Should I Run?
Cisco recommends running a Gold Star release indicated by a gold star next to the release number on the
software download page. You can also refer to the release strategy described in
us/products/collateral/security/firewalls/bulletin-c25-743178.html; for example, this bulletin describes short-term
release numbering (with the latest features), long-term release numbering (maintenance releases and patches
for a longer period of time), or extra long-term release numbering (maintenance releases and patches for the
longest period of time, for government certification).
Procedure
Step 1
Connect to the CLI. See
procedure shows using the console port, but you can use SSH instead.
Log in with the admin user and the default password, Admin123.
You connect to the FXOS CLI. The first time you log in, you are prompted to change the password. This
password is also used for the threat defense login for SSH.
Note
Example:
firepower login: admin

When the switch is toggled from ON to OFF, it may take several seconds for the system to eventually
power off. During this time, the Power LED on the front of the chassis blinks green. Do not remove
the power until the Power LED is completely off.
Access the Threat Defense and FXOS CLI, on page 104
If the password was already changed, and you do not know it, you must perform a factory reset to
reset the password to the default. See the
