About the Secure Firewall Management Center 1700, 2700, and 4700
In a NAT environment, you do not need to specify the IP address or hostname of the device, if you already
specified the IP address or hostname of the management center when you configured the device to be managed
by the management center.
Step 3
In the Display Name field, enter a name for the device as you want it to appear in the management center
web interface.
Step 4
In the Registration Key field, enter the same registration key that you used when you configured the device
to be managed by the management center. This key is a one-time-use shared secret that you configured when
you originally identified this management center on the device.
Step 5
Choose an initial Access Control Policy. Unless you have a customized policy, choose Create new policy,
and choose Block all traffic. You can change this later to allow traffic.
If the device is incompatible with the policy you choose, the deployment fails. This incompatibility can occur
for multiple reasons, including licensing mismatches, model restrictions, passive and inline issues, and other
misconfigurations. For more information, see the
Configuration
Step 6
Choose licenses to apply to the device.
Step 7
If you used a NAT ID during device setup, expand the Advanced section and enter the same NAT ID in the
Unique NAT ID field.
Step 8
Click Register.
It may take up to two minutes for the management center to verify the device's heartbeat and establish
communication.
Set Up Light-Out Management
The LOM feature allows you to perform a limited set of actions on the management center using a Serial over
LAN (SOL) connection. With LOM, you use a CLI on an out-of-band management connection to perform
tasks such as viewing the chassis serial number, or monitoring conditions such as fan speed and temperature.
Note
If you need to restore the management center to factory defaults and do not have physical access to the
appliance, you can use LOM to perform the restore process.
Caution
Guide. After you resolve the issue, manually deploy configurations to the device.
You can use LOM only on the CIMC interface.
The restore process resets the LOM settings on the device; you cannot access a newly restored appliance using
LOM. When restoring a device to factory settings using LOM, if you do not have physical access to the
appliance and you delete the license and network settings, you cannot access the appliance after the restore.
