Complete the FTD Initial Configuration
many processes running in the background all the time, and losing power does not allow the graceful shutdown
of your system.
Procedure
Step 1
Attach the power cord to the device and connect it to an electrical outlet.
Step 2
Press the power switch on the back of the device.
Step 3
Check the PWR LED on the front of the device; if it is solid green, the device is powered on.
Step 4
Check the SYS LED on the front of the device; after it is solid green, the system has passed power-on
diagnostics.
Note
Complete the FTD Initial Configuration
You can complete the FTD initial configuration using the CLI or Firepower Device Manager.
Complete the FTD Initial Configuration Using FDM
Connect to FDM to perform initial setup of the FTD. When you perform initial setup using FDM, all interface
configuration completed in FDM is retained when you switch to FMC for management, in addition to the
Management and FMC access settings. Note that other default configuration settings, such as the access control
policy or security zones, are not retained. When you use the CLI, only the Management and FMC access
settings are retained (for example, the default inside interface configuration is not retained).
Before you begin
• Deploy and perform initial configuration of the FMC. See the
Cisco Firepower 2100 Getting Started Guide

Before you move the power switch to the OFF position, use the shutdown commands so that the
system can perform a graceful shutdown. This may take several minutes to complete. After the
graceful shutdown is complete, the console displays
panel blue locator beacon LED lights up indicating the system is ready to be powered off. You can
now move the switch to the OFF position. The front panel PWR LED flashes momentarily and turns
off. Do not remove the power until the PWR LED is completely off.

FXOS Configuration Guide
to know the FMC IP address or hostname before you set up the FTD.
