Central Administrator Pre-Configuration Using the CLI
Connect to the FTD CLI to perform initial setup. When you use the CLI for initial configuration, only the
Management and FMC access interface settings are retained.
Before you begin
Deploy and perform initial configuration of the FMC. See the FMC getting started guide. You will need to
know the FMC IP address or hostname before you set up the FTD.
Procedure
Step 1 Power on the device.
Step 2 Connect to the FTD CLI, either from the console port or using SSH to the Management interface, which
obtains an IP address from a DHCP server by default. Because this procedure requires you to change the
Management interface network settings, we recommend using the console port so you do not get disconnected.
The console port connects to the FXOS CLI. The SSH session connects directly to the FTD CLI.
Step 3 Log in with the username admin and the password Admin123.
At the console port, you connect to the FXOS CLI. The first time you log in to FXOS, you are prompted to
change the password. This password is also used for the FTD login for SSH.
If the password was already changed, and you do not know it, then you must reimage the device to
reset the password to the default. See the FXOS troubleshooting guide for the reimage procedure.
Note
Example:
firepower login: admin
Password: Admin123
Successful login attempts for user 'admin' : 1
