Threat Defense Deployment with the Management Center
Complete the Threat Defense Initial Configuration
You can complete the threat defense initial configuration using the CLI or device manager.
Complete the Threat Defense Initial Configuration Using the Device Manager
Connect to the device manager to perform initial setup of the threat defense. When you perform initial setup
using the device manager, all interface configuration completed in the device manager is retained when you
switch to the management center for management, in addition to the Management interface and manager
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 interface and manager access settings
are retained (for example, the default inside interface configuration is not retained).
Before you begin
• Deploy and perform initial configuration of the management center. See the
• Use a current version of Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Internet Explorer.
Procedure
Step 1
Log in to the device manager.
a) Enter one of the following URLs in your browser.
b) Log in with the username admin, and the default password Admin123.
c) You are prompted to read and accept the End User License Agreement and change the admin password.
Step 2
Use the setup wizard when you first log into the device manager to complete the initial configuration. You
can optionally skip the setup wizard by clicking Skip device setup at the bottom of the page.
After you complete the setup wizard, in addition to the default configuraton for the inside interface (Ethernet1/2),
you will have configuration for an outside (Ethernet1/1) interface that will be maintained when you switch
to management center management.
a) Configure the following options for the outside and management interfaces and click Next.
1. Outside Interface Address—This interface is typically the internet gateway, and might be used as
Center 1600, 2600, and 4600 Hardware Installation
IP address or hostname before you set up the threat defense.
• Inside (Ethernet 1/2)—https://192.168.95.1.
• Management—https://management_ip. The Management interface is a DHCP client, so the IP
address depends on your DHCP server. You might have to set the Management IP address to a static
address as part of this procedure, so we recommend that you use the inside interface so you do not
become disconnected.
your manager access interface. You cannot select an alternative outside interface during initial device
setup. The first data interface is the default outside interface.
If you want to use a different interface from outside (or inside) for manager access, you will have to
configure it manually after completing the setup wizard.
