Save and Load Firepower Management Center Configurations
You can use the restore utility to save a configuration should you need to restore an FMC. Although the restore
utility automatically saves the last configuration used, you can save multiple configurations, which include
the following:
• Network information about the management interface on the appliance. For more information, see
• Location of the ISO image, as well as the transport protocol and any credentials the appliance needs to
• System software and intrusion rules updates, if any, that you want to apply after the appliance is restored
The system does not save SCP passwords. If the configuration specifies that the utility must use SCP to transfer
ISO and other files to the appliance, you must re-authenticate to the server to complete the restore process.
The best time to save a configuration is after you provide the information listed above, but before you download
and mount the ISO image.
