  Restoring a Firepower Management Center to Factory Defaults

Firepower Management Center Getting Started Guide

For a serial connection, when you see the BIOS boot options, press Tab slowly and repeatedly (to prevent 
the appliance from booting the currently installed version of the system). The LILO boot prompt appears. 
For example:

LILO 22.8 boot:

System-5.4 System_Restore

Indicate that you want to restore the system: 

For a keyboard and monitor connection, use the arrow keys to select 

System_Restore

 and press Enter. 

For a serial connection, type 

System_Restore

 at the prompt and press Enter. 

The 

boot

 prompt appears after the following choices: 

0. Load with standard console

1. Load with serial console

Select a display mode for the restore utility’s interactive menu: 

For a keyboard and monitor connection, type 

0

 and press Enter.

For a serial connection, type 

1

 and press Enter.

If you do not select a display mode, the restore utility defaults to the standard console after 30 seconds.

Unless this is the first time you have restored the appliance to this major version, the utility automatically loads 
the last restore configuration you used. To continue, confirm the settings in a series of pages.

Starting the Restore Utility Using Lights-Out Management

If you need to restore an appliance to factory defaults and do not have physical access to the appliance, you can 
use LOM to perform the restore process. Note that if you want to use LOM to configure the initial setup, you must 
preserve the network settings during the initial setup. Note also that you can use Lights-Out Management on the 
default (

eth0

) management interface only. 

Before you can restore an appliance using LOM, you must enable the feature; see 

.

At your computer’s command prompt, enter the IPMI command to start the SOL session:

For IPMItool, type:

sudo ipmitool -I lanplus -H IP_address -U username sol activate

For ipmiutil, type:

sudo ipmiutil sol -a -V4 -J3 -N IP_address -U username -P password

Where 

 is the IP address of the management interface on the appliance, 

 is user name of an 

authorized LOM account, and 

 is the password for that account. Note that IPMItool prompts you for the 

password after you issue the 

sol activate

 command.

If you are using a Firepower device, type 

expert

 to display the shell prompt.

Reboot the appliance as root user. For a Firepower device, type 

system reboot

.

The appliance reboots.
