Cisco Firepower 1100 User Manual

The following figure shows the recommended network deployment for credentials onboarding using an
on-premises SDC connected to the inside network. You can use a cloud SDC with credentials onboarding,
but that method requires additional configuration in FDM, which may not be desirable. This example shows
the more common on-premises SDC use case. If you add the SDC to the optional management network, which
does not allow through traffic, then the SDC will need a path to the internet (not shown in the diagram).
If you connect the outside interface directly to a cable modem or DSL modem, we recommend that you put
the modem into bridge mode so the FTD performs all routing and NAT for your inside networks. If you need
to configure PPPoE for the outside interface to connect to your ISP, you can do so after you complete initial
setup in FDM.
If you cannot use the default management IP address (for example, your management network does not include
a DHCP server), then you can connect to the console port and perform initial setup at the CLI, including
setting the Management IP address, gateway, and other basic networking settings.
If you need to change the inside IP address, you can do so after you complete initial setup in FDM. For
example, you may need to change the inside IP address in the following circumstances:
• (7.0 and later) The inside IP address is 192.168.95.1.(6.7 and earlier) The inside IP address is 192.168.1.1.
If the outside interface tries to obtain an IP address on the 192.168.1.0 network, which is a common
default network, the DHCP lease will fail, and the outside interface will not obtain an IP address. This
problem occurs because the FTD cannot have two interfaces on the same network. In this case you must
change the inside IP address to be on a new network.
• If you add the FTD to an existing inside network, you will need to change the inside IP address to be on
the existing network.
