Review the Network Deployment
The dedicated Management 1/1 interface is a special interface with its own network settings. By default, the
Management 1/1 interface is enabled and configured as a DHCP client. If your network does not include a
DHCP server, you can set the Management interface to use a static IP address during initial setup at the console
port. You can configure other interfaces after you connect the FTD to FMC.
In 6.5 and earlier, the Management interface is configured with an IP address (192.168.45.45).
Note
See the following sample network deployments for ideas on how to place your FTD device in your network.
Separate Management Network
Both the FMC and FTD require internet access from management for licensing and updates.
The following figure shows a possible network deployment for the Firepower 1100 where the FMC and
management computer connect to the management network. The management network has a path to the
internet for licensing and updates.
