Configure IP address ASA Firepower module

QW_netzwerk — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 13:19:26 GMT

Hello,

today I have been trying to configure the ASA firepower module's IP address. But unfortunately I am not succeed. The firewall is at branch location and do not have any more router on the LAN network. So I have shutdown the management interface and configure the firepower management IP on the Server network. But unfortunately I cannot ping the gateway IP address which is basically the one of the interface of the firewall. It is 5525x series Firewall. So it doesn't has any dedicated interface for the firepower management. So it would be nice to know where did I make the mistake? I did reload and recovery of the module and I see the status as still recovery state. So my question is whethere there is any problem on the module itself?

Saimun,

Even though there is not a physical Firepower services module management port, it uses the Management0/0 port for connecting to the SFR module. If you'd like it on the same VLAN as your server VLAN on the ASA, plug the Management0/0 port into a switch that shares the server VLAN network and give the SFR module an IP address on the same subnet.

make sure you remove the nameif statement from under the Management0/0 interface. Here's an example:

interface Management0/0
management-only
no nameif
security-level 100
no ip address

Thanks a lot mate. It is

Thanks a lot mate. It is working. But now I have another issue to upload the sfr module package. Anyway i am creating another new discussion about it.

I have exactly the same issue. The sfr module is always in recover stage. The ASA's internal IP address is not able to reach the IP address of the SFR module. Though both are IP addresses are in the same subnet, I am unable to ping them.

interface BVI1
ip address 192.168.1.242 255.255.255.0

ciscoasa(config)# sh int IP br

The firewall is in transparent mode, the access-lists any any are configured.

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

Please tell me if the connections I have done has a mistake. I am connecting my laptop to outside1 interface, the management and interface g0/0 are connected to the switch in the same vlan.

Have you run through the

Have you run through the initial SFR module setup? If you've done that successfully (assuming you have since you refer to having an IP address configured on it), then you need to run through the "system install" routine to move from the boot image to the system image on the sfr module.
