Set Up Devices
Because the various models of physical and virtual devices are set up differently, consult the documentation for your Firepower Management Center and Firepower Threat Defense device to:
-
(Physical appliances): Unpack, rack, and connect the device to the network using the hardware installation guide.
-
(Virtual devices): Install the virtual machine image and power it up using the virtual device quick start guides.
After performing those tasks, continue with the next section to configure IP addresses and to perform the other tasks necessary to get the Firepower System running.
