Step 10
Read the End User License Agreement carefully; if you agree to abide by its provisions, then check the I
have read and agree to the End User License Agreement checkbox.
Step 11
Make sure that all the information you provided is correct, and click Apply.
The FMC applies your configuration according to your selections, logs you into the web interface as the admin
user (which has the Administrator role), and displays the Summary Dashboard page.
Note
Step 12
If you connected directly to the appliance's management interface using an Ethernet cable, once you click
Apply you will be disconnected from the FMC because its IP address has changed. Disconnect the computer
and connect the FMC's management interface to the management network. To complete the remaining
procedures in the guide use a browser on a computer on the management network to access the FMC GUI at
the IP address or host name that you just configured.
Step 13
Verify that the initial setup was successful by monitoring the Tasks tab in the Message Center.
What to do next
• Perform the activities described in
• Optionally, configure the FMC for Serial or Lights-Out Management (LOM) access; see
(Optional) Add Classic Licenses During Initial Setup (Versions 6.2 - 6.4)
You use the FMC to manage classic licenses for 7000 and 8000 Series, ASA with FirePOWER Services, and
NGIPSv.
Note
You must enable Classic Licenses on your managed devices before you can use licensed features. You can
enable a license during the initial setup of the FMC (as described in the procedure below), when you add a
device to the FMC, or by editing the device's general properties after you add the device.
Before you begin
Before you add a classic license to the FMC, make sure you have the Product Authorization Key (PAK)
provided by Cisco when you purchased the license. If you have a legacy, pre-Cisco license, contact Cisco
TAC.
Procedure
Step 1
Obtain the License Key for your chassis from the License Settings section on the Initial Setup page.
The License Key is clearly labeled (for example, 66:18:E7:6E:D9:93:35).
Step 2
To obtain your license, navigate to
