IPv6:

configure multi-instance network ipv6 ipv6_address prefix_length gateway_ip_address manager

manager_name {hostname | ipv6_address | DONTRESOLVE} registration_key nat_id

See the following manager components:

• {hostname | ipv4_address | DONTRESOLVE}—Specifies either the FQDN or IP address of the

management center. At least one of the devices, either the management center or the chassis, must have

a reachable IP address to establish the two-way, SSL-encrypted communication channel between the

two devices. If you don't specify a manager hostname or IP address in this command, then enter

DONTRESOLVE; in this case, the chassis must have a reachable IP address or hostname, and you must

specify the nat_id.

• registration_key—Enter a one-time registration key of your choice that you will also specify on the

management center when you register the chassis. The registration key must not exceed 37 characters.

Valid characters include alphanumerical characters (A–Z, a–z, 0–9) and the hyphen (-).

• nat_id—Specifies a unique, one-time string of your choice that you will also specify on the management

center when you register the chassis when one side does not specify a reachable IP address or hostname.

It is required if you do not specify a manager address or hostname, however, we recommend that you

always set the NAT ID even when you specify a hostname or IP address. The NAT ID must not exceed

37 characters. Valid characters include alphanumerical characters (A–Z, a–z, 0–9) and the hyphen (-).

This ID cannot be used for any other devices registering to the management center.

To change the mode back to appliance mode, you must use the FXOS CLI and enter scope system and then

set deploymode native. See Change Chassis Management Settings at the FXOS CLI, on page 59.

Add a Multi-Instance Chassis to the Management Center

Add the multi-instance chassis to the management center. The management center and the chassis share a

separate management connection using the chassis MGMT interface.

You can use the management center to configure all chassis settings as well as instances. The Secure Firewall

chassis manager or configuration at the FXOS CLI is not supported.

Before you begin

Convert the chassis to multi-instance mode. See Enable Multi-Instance Mode, on page 18.
