Cisco Firepower 1010 Shutdown Script

[GDS2023]

Hi Experts,

Is there any recommendation on shutting down Firepower 1010 gracefully through a script or anything along those lines?

We are using FPR1010 on vessels which power gets shutdown everyday and worried about database corruption on the Firewalls.

Thanks in advance.

Use flexconfig and use watchdog and reboot the FW

To do it via cli, use some homegrown automation or a third party tool to login at the desired time via ssh and run the "shutdown" command.
