Figure 38: Cabling an Edge Deployment
For version 6.5 and earlier, the Management 1/1 default IP address is 192.168.45.45.
Note
a) Cable the following to a Layer 2 Ethernet switch:
• Inside interface (for example, Ethernet 1/2)
• Management 1/1 interface
• Firepower Management Center
• Management computer
b) Connect the management computer to the console port. You need to use the console port to access the
CLI for initial setup if you do not use SSH to the Management interface.
c) Connect the outside interface (for example, Ethernet 1/1) to your outside router.
d) Connect other networks to the remaining interfaces.
Power on the Device
System power is controlled by a rocker power switch located on the rear of the device. The power switch is
implemented as a soft notification switch that supports graceful shutdown of the system to reduce the risk of
system software and data corruption.
Before you begin
It's important that you provide reliable power for your device (for example, using an uninterruptable power
supply (UPS)). Loss of power without first shutting down can cause serious file system damage. There are
many processes running in the background all the time, and losing power does not allow the graceful shutdown
of your system.
