the appliance and you delete the license and network settings, you will be unable to access the

Step 8 You have two options based on the software version to which you are restoring the appliance:
• If you are restoring the system to a different major version, perform the two-pass restore process:
a. The first pass updates the restore image. See Update the Restore Image, on page 57 .
b. The second pass installs the new version of the system software. See Install the New System Software
Version, on page 58 .
• If you are restoring the system to the same major version, you need only install the new version of the
system software. See Install the New System Software Version, on page 58 .
What to do next
Restoring your FMC to factory default settings results in the loss of almost all configuration and event data
on the appliance, including console display settings.
• If you did not delete the appliance’s license and network settings, you can use a computer on your
management network to browse directly to the appliance’s web interface to perform the setup.
For more information, see the setup process appropriate to your Firepower version:
• For Firepower versions 6.5 and later, see Perform Initial Setup at the Web Interface for Versions

• If you deleted license and network settings, you must configure the appliance as if it were new, beginning
with configuring it to communicate on your management network.
