Guide
The Firepower Management Center (FMC) 1000, 2500, and 4500 Getting Started Guide explains FMC
installation, login, setup, initial administrative settings, and configuration for your secure network. This
document also describes maintenance activities such as establishing alternative means of FMC access, adding
managed devices to the FMC, FMC factory reset, saving and loading configurations, erasing the hard drive,
and performing an appliance shutdown or restart.
In a typical deployment on a large network, you install multiple managed devices on network segments. Each
device controls, inspects, monitors, and analyzes traffic, and then reports to a managing FMC. The FMC
provides a centralized management console with a web interface that you can use to perform administrative,
management, analysis, and reporting tasks in service to securing your local network.
