When you change the mode, you need to reload the system, and the configuration is cleared. The default
configuration is applied upon reload.
Caution
Procedure
Step 1 Connect your management computer to the console port. The Firepower 2100 ships with a DB-9 to RJ-45
serial cable, so you will need a third party serial-to-USB cable to make the connection. Be sure to install any
necessary USB serial drivers for your operating system. Use the following serial settings:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit
You connect to the ASA CLI. There are no user credentials required for console access by default.
After you change to Platform mode, the console connection will access the FXOS CLI, not the
ASA CLI. But you can access the ASA CLI from the console in Platform mode; see Connect to
the Console Port to Access FXOS and ASA CLI, on page 225.
Note
Step 2 Access privileged EXEC mode.
enable
You are prompted to change the password the first time you enter the enable command.
Example:
ciscoasa> enable
Password:
The enable password is not set. Please set it now.
Enter Password: ******
Repeat Password: ******
ciscoasa#
All non-configuration commands are available in privileged EXEC mode. You can also enter configuration
mode from privileged EXEC mode.
To exit privileged mode, enter the disable, exit, or quit command.
Step 3 Access global configuration mode.
configure terminal
Example:
ciscoasa# configure terminal
ciscoasa(config)#
Step 4 Set the mode to Platform mode.
