4.5.7 Logical Device Management 
When you create a logical device, the FXOS chassis supervisor deploys the logical device by 
downloading the specified software version and pushing the bootstrap configuration and management 
interface settings to the specified security module/engine, or in the case of an intra-chassis cluster, to all 
security modules installed in the Firepower chassis. 
 
4.5.7.1 Create a ASA Logical Device via CLI 
You can create a standalone logical device for each security module/engine installed in the FXOS chassis. 
1)  Enter security services mode: 
Firepower# scope ssa 
2)  Create the logical device: 
Firepower /ssa # create logical-device device_name asa slot_id standalone 
3)  Enter a description for the logical device: 
Firepower /ssa/logical-device* # set description "logical device 
description" 
4)  Assign the management and data interfaces to the logical device: 
Firepower /ssa/logical-device* # create external-port-link name 
interface_name asa 
Firepower-chassis /ssa/logical-device/external-port-link* # exit 
5)  Configure the management bootstrap information: 
a) Create bootstrap object: 
Firepower /ssa/logical-device* # create mgmt-bootstrap asa 
b) Create enable password: 
Firepower /ssa/logical-device/mgmt-bootstrap* # create bootstrap-key-
secret PASSWORD 
c) Set password value: 
Firepower /ssa/logical-device/mgmt-bootstrap/bootstrap-key-secret* # set 
value 
Value: password 
d) Exit password configuration scope: 
Firepower /ssa/logical-device/mgmt-bootstrap/bootstrap-key-secret* # exit 
e) Configure management IP address: 
Firepower /ssa/logical-device/mgmt-bootstrap* # create ipv4 slot_id 
default 
f) Set gateway address: 
Firepower /ssa/logical-device/mgmt-bootstrap/ipv4* # set gateway 
gateway_address 
g) Set IP address and mask:
