What to do next
You must explicitly grant LOM permissions to users who will use the feature. See
.
Enable Lights-Out Management Users
Before you begin
LOM users must meet the following restrictions:
• You must assign the Administrator role to the user.
• The username may have up to 16 alphanumeric characters. Hyphens and longer usernames are not
supported for LOM users.
• A user's LOM password is the same as that user's system password, and must comply with the password
requirements described for LOM users in the
Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide
• FMCs can have up to 13 LOM users.
Procedure
Step 1
In the FMC web interface, select
System
>
Users
and on the
Users
tab, either edit an existing user to add
LOM permissions, or create a new user that you will use for LOM access to the appliance.
Step 2
Under
User Role Configuration
, check the
Administrator
check box if it is not already checked.
Step 3
Check the
Allow Lights-Out Management Access
check box and save your changes.
Redirect Console Output
By default, FMCs direct initialization status, or
init
, messages to the VGA port. If you want to use the physical
serial port to access the console, we recommend you redirect console output to the serial port after you complete
the initial setup. You can accomplish this from the web interface or the shell.
Use the Web Interface to Redirect the Console Output
You must be an Admin user to perform this procedure.
