with your network configuration. Otherwise, enter a fully qualified domain name (syntax
<hostname>.<domain>
b) Choose the boot protocol for the Configure IPv4 option, either Using DHCP or Using Static/Manual.
c) Accept the displayed value, if one is shown, for IPv4 Address or enter a new value. Use dotted decimal
form (for example, 192.168.45.45).
Note
d) Accept the displayed value, if one is shown, for Network Mask or enter a new value. Use dotted decimal
form (for example, 255.255.0.0).
Note
e) You can accept the displayed value, if one is shown, for Gateway or enter a new default gateway. Use
dotted decimal form (for example, 192.168.0.1).

f) (Optional) For DNS Group you can accept the default value, Cisco Umbrella DNS.
To change the DNS settings, choose Custom DNS Servers from the drop-down list, and enter IPv4
addresses for the Primary DNS and Secondary DNS. If your FMC does not have internet access you
cannot use a DNS outside of your local network. Configure no DNS Server by choosing Custom DNS
Servers from the drop-down list and leaving the Primary DNS and Secondary DNS fields blank.
Note
g) For NTP Group Servers you can accept the default value, Default NTP Servers. In this case the system
uses 0.sourcefire.pool.ntp.org as the primary NTP server, and 1.sourcefire.pool.ntp.org as the secondary
NTP server.
