Onboard a Secure Firewall Threat Defense Device With Zero-Touch Provisioning

Step 1

If you are onboarding a device purchased from an external vendor, you must reimage the device first. For more information, see the "Reimage Procedures" chapter of the Cisco FXOS Troubleshooting Guide.

Step 2

Log in to Security Cloud Control.

Step 3

In the navigation pane, click Security Devices.

Step 4

Click the blue plus button to Onboard a device.

Step 5

Click the FTD tile.

Step 6

On the Onboard FTD Device screen, click Use Serial Number.

Step 7

In the Select FMC step, use the drop-down menu to select an on-premises management center that has already been onboarded to Security Cloud Control. Click Next.

Step 8

In the Connection step, enter the device's serial number and device name. Click Next.

Step 9

For zero-touch provisioning, the device must be brand new, or has been reimaged. For the Password Reset, be sure to select Yes, this new device has never been logged into or configured for a manager. Enter a new password and confirm the new password for the device, then click Next.

Step 10

For Policy Assignment, use the drop-down menu to select a access control policy to be deployed once the device is onboarded. If you do not have a customized policy, Security Cloud Control auto-selects the default access control policy. Click Next.

Step 11

Select all licenses you want to apply to the device. Click Next.

Step 12

(Optional) Add labels to the device. Security Cloud Control applies these labels once the device successfully onboards.
