Procedure
Step 1 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. If you intend to change the 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 2 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, 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
[...]
Hello admin. You must change your password.
Enter new password: ********
Confirm new password: ********
Your password was updated successfully.

Step 3 If you connected to FXOS on the console port, connect to the FTD CLI.
connect ftd
Example:
firepower# connect ftd
>
Step 4 The first time you log in to FTD, you are prompted to accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) and,
if using an SSH connection, to change the admin password. You are then presented with the CLI setup script.
You cannot repeat the CLI setup wizard unless you clear the configuration; for example, by reimaging.
However, all of these settings can be changed later at the CLI using configure network commands.
See the FTD command reference.
Note
Defaults or previously entered values appear in brackets. To accept previously entered values, press Enter.
See the following guidelines:
• Enter the IPv4 default gateway for the management interface—The data-interfaces setting applies
only to remote FMC or Firepower Device Manager management; you should set a gateway IP address
for Management 1/1 when using FMC on the management network. In the edge deployment example
