Access the Threat Defense and FXOS CLI
Use the command-line interface (CLI) to set up the system and do basic system troubleshooting. You cannot
configure policies through a CLI session. You can access the CLI by connecting to the console port.
You can also access the FXOS CLI for troubleshooting purposes.
You can alternatively SSH to the Management interface of the threat defense device. Unlike a console
session, the SSH session defaults to the threat defense CLI, from which you can connect to the FXOS
CLI using the connect fxos command. You can later connect to the address on a data interface if you
open the interface for SSH connections. SSH access to data interfaces is disabled by default. This
procedure describes console port access, which defaults to the FXOS CLI.
Note
Procedure
Step 1 To log into the CLI, connect your management computer to the console port. The Firepower 1000 ships with
a USB A-to-B serial cable. Be sure to install any necessary USB serial drivers for your operating system (see
the Firepower 1010 hardware guide). The console port defaults to the FXOS CLI. Use the following serial
settings:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit
You connect to the FXOS CLI. Log in to the CLI using the admin username and the password you set at
initial setup (the default is Admin123).
Example:
firepower login: admin
Password:
Last login: Thu May 16 14:01:03 UTC 2019 on ttyS0
Successful login attempts for user 'admin' : 1
