Once you click
Next
on the

password, that password is in effect for both the web interface and CLI
admin
accounts even if you do
not complete the remaining wizard activities.

.
Step 6
At the
Change Network Settings
screen:
a) Enter a
Fully Qualified Domain Name
. If default value is shown, you may use that if it is compatible
with your network configuration. Otherwise, enter a fully qualified domain name (syntax
<hostname>.<domain>
) or hostname.
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).
If you change the IP address during initial configuration, you need to reconnect to the FMC
using the new network information.
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).
If you change the network mask during initial configuration, you need to reconnect to the FMC
using the new network information.
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).
If you change the gateway address during initial configuration, you may need to reconnect to
the FMC using the new network information.
Note
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.
If you use FQDNs rather than IP addresses to specify NTP servers, you must specify DNS at
this time. If you are using an evaluation license DNS is optional, but DNS is required to use
permanent licenses for your deployment.
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.
To configure other NTP servers, choose
Custom NTP Group Servers
from the drop-down list and enter
the FQDNs or IP addresses of one or two NTP servers reachable from your network. If your FMC does
not have internet access you cannot use an NTP server outside of your local network.
If you change network settings during initial configuration, you need to reconnect to the FMC using
the new network information.
