Cabling for the Firepower 1100
Figure 2: Cabling the Firepower 1100
• Connect your management computer to either of the following interfaces:
• Ethernet 1/2—Connect your management computer directly to Ethernet 1/2 for initial configuration,
or connect Ethernet 1/2 to your inside network. Ethernet 1/2 has a default IP address (192.168.95.1)
and also runs a DHCP server to provide IP addresses to clients (including the management computer),
so make sure these settings do not conflict with any existing inside network settings.
• Management 1/1 (labeled MGMT)—Connect your management computer to the management
network. The Management 1/1 interface obtains an IP address from DHCP, so make sure your
network includes a DHCP server.
If you need to change the Management 1/1 IP address from the default to configure a static IP
address, you must also cable your management computer to the console port. See (Optional) Change
Management Network Settings at the CLI, on page 21.
You can later configure management access from other interfaces.
• Connect the outside network to the Ethernet1/1 interface (labeled WAN).
By default, the IP address is obtained using IPv4 DHCP and IPv6 autoconfiguration, but you can set a
static address during initial configuration.
• Connect other networks to the remaining interfaces.
