Figure 23: Successful Connection with FMC

Central Administrator Pre-Configuration Using the CLI

Connect to the FTD CLI to perform initial setup. When you use the CLI for initial configuration, only the
Management and FMC access interface settings are retained.When you perform initial setup using FDM (7.1
and later),

all

interface configuration completed in FDM is retained when you switch to FMC for management,

in addition to the Management and FMC access interface settings. Note that other default configuration
settings, such as the access control policy, are not retained.

Before you begin

Deploy and perform initial configuration of the FMC. See the

FMC getting started guide

. You will need to

know the FMC IP address or hostname before you set up the FTD.

Procedure

Step 1

Power on the firewall.

The first time you boot up the FTD, initialization can take approximately 15 to 30 minutes.

Note

Step 2

Connect to the FTD CLI on the console port.

The console port connects to the FXOS CLI.

Step 3

Log in with the username

admin

and the password

Admin123

.

The first time you log in to FXOS, you are prompted to change the password. This password is also used for
the FTD login for SSH.

If the password was already changed, and you do not know it, then you must reimage the device to
reset the password to the default. See the

FXOS troubleshooting guide

for the

reimage procedure

.
