Cisco ASA Series Firewall CLI Configuration Guide
Chapter 7 ASA FirePOWER Module
Managing the ASA FirePOWER Module
• Connect Management1/0 to the network. You must use this interface to TFTP boot the Boot Image.
Procedure
Step 1 Connect to the module console port.
Step 2 Reload the system:
system reboot
Step 3 When prompted, break out of the boot by pressing Esc. If you see grub start to boot the system, you have
waited too long.
This will place you at the ROMMON prompt.
Step 4 At the ROMMON prompt, enter set and configure the following parameters:
• ADDRESS—The management IP address of the module.
• SERVER—The IP address of the TFTP server.
• GATEWAY—The gateway address to the TFTP server. If the TFTP server and management address
are on the same subnet, do not configure the gateway or TFTP boot will fail.
• IMAGE—The Boot Image path and image name on the TFTP server. For example, if you place the
file on the TFTP server in /tftpboot/images/filename.img, the IMAGE value is images/filename.img.
For example:
ADDRESS=10.5.190.199
SERVER=10.5.11.170
GATEWAY=10.5.1.1
IMAGE=asasfr-boot-5.3.1-26-54.img
Step 5 Save the settings:
sync
Step 6 Initiate the download and boot process:
tftp
You will see ! marks to indicate progress. When the boot completes after several minutes, you will see
a login prompt.
Step 7 Log in as admin, with the password Admin123.
Step 8 Configure the system so that you can install the system software package:
setup
You are prompted for the following. Note that the management address and gateway, and DNS
information, are the key settings to configure.
• Host name—Up to 65 alphanumeric characters, no spaces. Hyphens are allowed.
• Network address—You can set static IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, or use DHCP (for IPv4) or IPv6
stateless autoconfiguration.
• DNS information—You must identify at least one DNS server, and you can also set the domain name
and search domain.
• NTP information—You can enable NTP and configure the NTP servers, for setting system time.
Step 9 Install the System Software image:
system install [noconfirm] url
