Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 4000

This chapter details the steps you must take to log into and log out of the FireSIGHT System, using the 
appliance-based web interface as well as the command line interface (CLI). You can also configure 
externally authenticated user accounts that use LDAP or RADIUS credentials.

After you have logged into the web interface, the context menu feature provides extra information and 
helpful navigation links when you hover your pointer over certain areas.

For more information, see the following sections:

Any

The FireSIGHT System Defense Center has a web interface that you can use to perform administrative, 
management, and analysis tasks. Physical managed devices also have a web interface that you can use 
to perform initial setup and basic analysis and configuration tasks. For information on browser 
requirements, refer to the release notes for this version of the FireSIGHT System.

Virtual managed devices do not have web interfaces. For these devices (and Series 3 devices as well), 
the FireSIGHT System provides an interactive CLI that you can use to perform any tasks that you cannot 
complete using the device’s managing Defense Center.

Sourcefire Software for  X-Series also does not have a web interface. However, it has a CLI unique to 
the X-Series platform. You use this CLI to install the system and to perform other platform-specific 
administrative tasks. For more information, including how to log in to the X-Series platform CLI, see 
the Sourcefire Software for  X-Series Installation and Configuration Guide.

ASA FirePOWER devices have their own management applications (ASDM and CSM) and CLI for 
configuring the ASA device. In addition, the FireSIGHT System provides an interactive CLI that you 
can use to perform any tasks that you cannot complete using the device’s managing Defense Center. You 
use the ASA-specific tools to install the system and to perform other platform-specific administrative 
tasks. See the ASA documentation for more information.
