Perform Initial Setup of the Management Center Using the CLI
• If you choose to configure IPv4 manually, the system prompts for the IPv4 address, netmask, and default
gateway.
• Configuring a DNS server is optional; to specify no DNS server enter none. Otherwise specify IPv4
addresses for one or two DNS servers. If you specify two addresses, separate them with a comma. If you
specify more than two DNS servers, the system ignores the additional entries. If your management center
does not have internet access, you cannot use a DNS outside of your local network.
Note
• You must enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address for at least one NTP server reachable from
your network. You may not specify FQDNs for NTP servers if you are not using DHCP. You may specify
two servers (a primary and a secondary); separate their information with a comma. If you specify more
than two DNS servers, the system ignores the additional entries. If your management center does not
have internet access, you cannot use an NTP server outside of your local network.
Example:
Enter a hostname or fully qualified domain name for this system [firepower]: fmc
Configure IPv4 via DHCP or manually? (dhcp/manual) [DHCP]: manual
Enter an IPv4 address for the management interface [192.168.45.45]: 10.10.0.66
Enter an IPv4 netmask for the management interface [255.255.255.0]: 255.255.255.224
Enter the IPv4 default gateway for the management interface [ ]: 10.10.0.65
Enter a comma-separated list of DNS servers or 'none' [208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220]:
208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220
Enter a comma-separated list of NTP servers [0.sourcefire.pool.ntp.org,
1.sourcefire.pool.ntp.org]:
Step 6
Review the settings. The system displays a summary of the configurations.
Example:
Hostname:
IPv4 configured via:
Management interface IPv4 address:
Management interface IPv4 netmask:
Management interface IPv4 gateway:
DNS servers:
NTP servers:
Step 7
Confirm the settings.
• If the settings are correct, enter y and press Enter to accept the settings and continue.
• If the settings are incorrect, enter n and press Enter. The system prompts for the information again,
beginning with the hostname.
Example:
Are these settings correct? (y/n) y
If your networking information has changed, you will need to reconnect.
Updated network configuration.
Step 8
After you accept the settings, you can enter exit to exit the management center CLI.

If you use an evaluation license, specifying DNS is optional, but DNS is required to use
permanent licenses for your deployment.
