Step 3 Check your current mode, Native or Container. If the mode is Native, you can continue with this procedure

to convert to multi-instance (Container) mode.

Step 4 Connect to the threat defense CLI.

connect ftd

Example:

firepower# connect ftd

Step 5 The first time you log in to the threat defense, you are prompted to accept the End User License Agreement

(EULA). You are then presented with the CLI setup script.

The setup script lets you set the Management interface IP address and other settings. However, when you

convert to multi-instance mode, the only settings that are retained are the following.

• Admin password (that you set at initial login)

• DNS servers

• Search domains

You will reset the Management IP address and gateway as part of the multi-instance mode command. After

you convert to multi-instance mode, you can change Management settings at the FXOS CLI. See Change

Chassis Management Settings at the FXOS CLI, on page 59.

Step 6 Enable multi-instance mode, set the chassis management interface settings, and identify the management

center. You can use IPv4 and/or IPv6 static addressing; DHCP is not supported. After you enter the command,

you will be prompted to erase the configuration and reboot. Enter ERASE (all caps). The system reboots and,

as part of changing the mode, erases the configuration with the exception of the Management network settings

you set in the command and the admin password. The chassis hostname is set to "firepower-model."
