Overview
How to use the CLI setup script to configure Secure Firewall 6100 management addressing and set up outside-interface manager access so you can register the device to the Security Cloud Control.
Set the dedicated Management IP address, gateway, and other basic networking settings using the CLI setup script.
Procedure
| 1. | Connect to the console port and access the Firewall Threat Defense CLI. See Access the Firewall Threat Defense CLI. |
|
| 2. | Complete the CLI setup script for the Management interface settings.
Guidance: Enter y for at least one of these types of addresses. Although you do not plan to use the Management interface, you must set an IP address, for example, a private address.
Guidance: Choose manual. DHCP is not supported when using the outside interface for manager access. Make sure this interface is on a different subnet from the manager access interface to prevent routing issues.
Guidance: Set the gateway to be data-interfaces. This setting forwards management traffic over the backplane so it can be routed through the outside interface.
Guidance: Set the Management interface DNS servers. These will probably match the outside interface DNS servers you set later, since they are both accessed from the outside interface.
Guidance: Enter routed. Outside manager access is only supported in routed firewall mode.

| 5. | Shut down the Firewall Threat Defense so you can send the device to the remote branch office. It's important that you shut down your system properly. Simply unplugging the power or pressing the power switch can cause serious file system damage. Remember that there are many processes running in the background all the time, and unplugging or shutting off the power does not allow the graceful shutdown of your system.
