In a NAT environment, you may not need to spedify the IP address or hostname of the device, if you already
specified the IP address or hostname of the FMC when you configured the device to be managed by the FMC.
Step 3
In the
Display Name
field, enter a name for the device as you want it to appear in the FMC web interface.
Step 4
In the Registration Key field, enter the same regstration key that you used when you configured the device
to be managed by the FMC. (This registration key is a one-time-use shared secret that you made up when you
originally identified this FMC on the device.)
Step 5
Choose an initial
Access Control Policy
. Unless you already have a customized policy you know you need
to use, choose
Create new policy
, and choose
Block all traffic
. You can change this later to allow traffic;
see the
Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide
for your version for more information.
If the device is incompatible with the policy you choose, deploying will fail. This incompatibility could occur
for multiple reasons, including licensing mismatches, model restrictions, passive vs inline issues, and other
misconfigurations. See the
Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide
for your version for more
information. After you resolve the issue that caused the failure, manually deploy configurations to the device.
Step 6
Choose licenses to apply to the device.
For classic devices, note that Control, Malware, and URL Filtering licenses require a Protection license.
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 FMC to verify the device’s heartbeat and establish communication.
Set Up Alternate FMC Access
After you have completed the initial setup process, you can establish alternate means of accessing the FMC
by doing one of the following:
• You can set up the FMC for direct access from a local computer to its serial port. Before configuring the
FMC for serial access, redirect console output to the serial port.
• You can set up the FMC for Lights-Out Management (LOM) access using a Serial over LAN (SOL)
connection on the CIMC interface. This allows you to perfom a limited number of maintenance tasks
without having physical access to the appliance.
Set Up Serial Access
Before you begin
• Complete the initial setup process appropriate to your Firepower version:
• For Firepower Versions 6.5 and later see
Install the FMC for Versions 6.5 and Later, on page 6
• For Firepower Versions 6.3 - 6.4 see
Install the FMC for Software Versions 6.3 - 6.4, on page 19
• Obtain and install terminal emulation software (such as HyperTerminal or XModem) on the local computer
to interact with the FMC.
