I am very new to Firewalls. My Company recently bought some 5506-X with FTD Licences. I am not familiar with configuring this device. If I take the console access to this device its not similar to the conventional ASA insted it ask us to set some management IP and all these things. So do anyone have any guides or ideas on how to configure this one?

Initial configuration for management interface IP and which subnets are allowed to manage the device can be done through CLI. For the actual access policy configuration you would need access to the GUI. I have never tried connecting a PC directly to the management interface so you might need a cross-over cable for that if you do not have a dumb switch you could use for a staging area.

You can use this guide to start configuration of the ASA5506 with FTD.

Is there any way I can configure this device without connecting to internet or any switch. I usually configure the ASA's and then put it in production. I want to know whether we can do the same with this device ??

You can definitely configure it through console,
