6.5 and Later Deployment
The dedicated Management 1/1 interface is a special interface with its own network settings. By default, the
Management 1/1 interface is enabled and configured as a DHCP client. If your network does not include a
DHCP server, you can set the Management interface to use a static IP address during initial setup at the console
port. You can configure other interfaces after you connect the FTD to FMC. Note that Ethernet1/2 through
1/8 are enabled as switch ports by default.
In 6.5 and earlier, the Management interface is configured with an IP address (192.168.45.45).
Note
The following figure shows the recommended network deployment for the Firepower 1010.
The FMC can only communicate with the FTD on the Management interface. Moreover, both the FMC and
FTD require internet access from management for licensing and updates.
In the following diagram, the Firepower 1010 acts as the internet gateway for the Management interface and
the FMC by connecting Management 1/1 directly to an inside switch port, and by connecting the FMC and
management computer to other inside switch ports. (This direct connection is allowed because the Management
interface is separate from the other interfaces on the FTD.)
