ASA→FTD: Firepower 2100 Platform Mode

This task lets you reimage the Firepower 2100 in Platform mode to FTD.

After performing this procedure, the FXOS admin password is reset to Admin123.

Note

Before you begin

• You must use the FXOS CLI for this procedure.

• In 9.12 and earlier, only Platform mode is available. In 9.13 and later, Appliance mode is the default. If

you upgrade a Platform mode device to 9.13 or later, then the ASA remains in Platform mode. Check

the mode in 9.13 or later by using the show fxos mode command at the ASA CLI.

If you have an ASA in Appliance mode, you cannot access these FXOS commands; reimaging to the

FTD takes place in the ASA OS. See ASA→FTD: Firepower 1000 or 2100 Appliance Mode, on page

Procedure

Step 1 Make sure the image you want to upload is available on an FTP, SCP, SFTP, or TFTP server connected to

the FXOS Management 1/1 interface, or a USB drive.

To verify or change the FXOS Management 1/1 IP address, see the Firepower 2100 getting started guide.

Step 2 Unregister the ASA from the Smart Software Licensing server, either from the ASA CLI/ASDM or from the

Smart Software Licensing server.

Step 3 Connect to the FXOS CLI, either the console port (preferred) or using SSH to the Management 1/1 interface.

If you connect at the console port, you access the FXOS CLI immediately. Enter the FXOS login credentials.

The default username is admin and the default password is Admin123.

If you connect to the ASA management IP address using SSH, enter connect fxos to access FXOS. You can

also SSH directly to the FXOS management IP address.

Step 4 Download the package to the chassis.

a) Enter firmware mode.
