Perform Initial Configuration Using the CLI
Connect to the threat defense CLI to perform initial setup. When you use the CLI for initial configuration,
only the Management interface and manager access interface settings are retained.When you perform initial
setup using the device manager, all interface configuration completed in the device manager is retained when
you switch to CDO for management, in addition to the Management interface and manager access interface
settings. Note that other default configuration settings, such as the access control policy, are not retained.
Procedure
Step 1 Connect to the threat defense CLI on the console port.
The console port connects to the FXOS CLI.
Step 2 Log in with the username admin and the password Admin123.
The first time you log in to FXOS, you are prompted to change the password. This password is also used for
the threat defense 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
[...]
Hello admin. You must change your password.
Enter new password: ********
Confirm new password: ********
Your password was updated successfully.

Step 4 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 for the Management interface settings.
The Management interface settings are used even though you are enabling manager access on a data interface.
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 configur e network
commands. See Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Command Reference.
