Cable the Firewall
This topic describes how to connect the Firepower 1010 to your network so that it can be managed by CDO.
Figure 44: Cabling the Firepower 1010
You can connect to CDO on the outside interface or the Management interface, depending on which interface
you set for manager access during initial setup. This guide shows the outside interface.
Ethernet1/2 through 1/8 are configured as hardware switch ports; PoE+ is also available on Ethernet1/7 and
1/8.
Note
Procedure
Step 1 Install the chassis. See the hardware installation guide.
Step 2 Connect the outside interface (Ethernet 1/1) to your outside router.
You can alternatively use the Management interface for manager access. However, this guide primarily covers
outside interface access, because it is the most likely scenario for remote branch offices.
Step 3 Cable your inside end points to the switch ports, Ethernet1/2 through 1/8.
Ethernet 1/7 and 1/8 are PoE+ ports.
Step 4 Connect the management computer to the console port or an inside interface.
