Cisco Firepower Management Center 1600, 2600, and 4600 Getting Started Guide
Procedure
Step 1
From the restore utility main menu, choose 5 Run the Install.
Step 2
Confirm that you want to restore the appliance.
Step 3
Choose whether you want to delete the appliance's license and network settings.
In most cases, you do not want to delete these settings; retaining them can make the initial setup process
shorter. Changing settings after the restore and subsequent initial setup is often less time consuming than
trying to reset them now.
Caution
Step 4
Enter your final confirmation that you want to restore the appliance.
The final stage of the restore process begins. When it is completed, if prompted, confirm that you want to
reboot the appliance.
Caution
Note
Save and Load Firepower Management Center Configurations
You can use the restore utility to save a configuration should you need to restore an FMC. Although the restore
utility automatically saves the last configuration used, you can save multiple configurations, which include
the following:
• Network information about the management interface on the appliance. For more information, see
• Location of the ISO image, as well as the transport protocol and any credentials the appliance needs to
• System software and intrusion rules updates, if any, that you want to apply after the appliance is restored
page

and mount the ISO image.)
The restore process resets the LOM settings on the device; you cannot access a newly restored
appliance using LOM. When restoring a device to factory settings using LOM, if you do not have
physical access to the appliance you will be unable to access the appliance after the restore.
Make sure you allow sufficient time for the restore process to complete. On appliances with internal
flash drives, the utility first updates the flash drive, which is then used to perform other restore tasks.
If you quit (by pressing Ctrl + C, for example) during the flash update, you could cause an
unrecoverable error. If you think the restore is taking too long or you experience any other issues
with the process, do not quit. Instead, contact Cisco TAC.
Always reimage your appliances during a maintenance window.
