  Restoring a Device to Factory Defaults

Firepower 7000 Series Getting Started Guide

From the main menu, select 

.

The utility presents a list of saved restore configurations. The first option, 

, is the configuration you 

last used to restore the appliance. The other options are restore configurations that you have saved.

Select the configuration you want to use.

The utility displays the settings in the configuration you are loading.

When prompted, confirm that you want to load the configuration.

The configuration is loaded. If prompted, confirm the IP address assigned to the appliance’s management 
interface.



To use the configuration you just loaded to restore the appliance, continue with

Next Steps

Restoring your appliance to factory default settings results in the loss of almost all configuration and event data 
on the appliance, including bypass configurations for devices deployed inline. For more information, see 

. 

After you restore an appliance, you must complete an initial setup process:



If you did not delete the appliance’s license and network settings, you can use a computer on your 
management network to browse directly to the appliance’s web interface to perform the setup. For more 
information, see 

.



If you deleted license and network settings, you must configure the appliance as if it were new, beginning with 
configuring it to communicate on your management network. See 

.

Note that deleting license and network settings also resets display (console) and LOM settings. After you complete 
the initial setup process:



If you want to use a serial or SOL/LOM connection to access your appliance’s console, you should redirect 
console output; see “Testing an Inline Bypass Interface Installation” in the Firepower 8000 Series Hardware 
Installation Guide.



If you want to use LOM, you must re-enable the feature as well as enable at least one LOM user; see 

.

Setting Up Lights-Out Management

If you need to restore a Firepower device to factory defaults and do not have physical access to the appliance, 
you can use Lights-Out Management (LOM) to perform the restore process. Note that you can use Lights-Out 
Management on the default (

eth0

) management interface only.

The baseboard management controller (BMC) for a Firepower 71xx, Firepower 82xx, or a Firepower or AMP 

83xx device is only accessible via 1Gbps link speeds when the host is powered on. When the device is powered 
down the BMC can only establish Ethernet link at 10 and 100Mbps. Therefore if LOM is being used to remotely 
power the device, connect the device to the network using 10 and 100Mbps link speeds only.
