Provide the Firewall Serial Number to the Central Administrator
Before you rack the firewall or discard the shipping box, record the serial number so you can coordinate with
the central adminstrator.
Procedure
Step 1 Unpack the chassis and chassis components.
Take inventory of your firewall and packaging before you connect any cables or power on the firewall. You
should also familiarize yourself with the chassis layout, components, and LEDs.
Step 2 Record the firewall's serial number.
The serial number of the firewall can be found on the shipping box. It can also be found on a sticker on a
pull-out tab on the front of the firewall.
Step 3 Send the firewall serial number to the CDO network administrator at your IT department/central headquarters.
Your network administrator needs your firewall serial number to facilitate low-touch provisioning, connect
to the firewall, and configure it remotely.
Communicate with the CDO administrator to develop an onboarding timeline.
Cable the Firewall
This topic describes how to connect the Firepower 2100 to your network so that it can be managed by CDO.
If you received a firewall at your branch office, and your job is to plug it in to your network, watch this video.
The video describes your firewall and the LED sequences on the firewall that indicate the firewall's status. If
you need to, you'll be able to confirm the firewall's status with your IT department just by looking at the LEDs.
