Solved: Firepower 2130 - Factory Reset

Ozan1 · ‎08-20-2021

How do you go from appliance mode back to platform mode? We are trying to convert our Firepower 2100 to running FTD.

We've tried booting in rommon and applying factory-reset and boot, it goes back to loading the ASA in appliance mode.

These commands are not available in FXOS after the device is in Appliance Mode.

connect local-mgmt

erase configuration

In version 9.13+ FPR2100 reimage results in appliance mode. The correct way to convert to the platform mode is as follows:

1. Log in to the ASA in the appliance mode with the admin user and run "no fxos mode appliance".

2. write memory and reload.

After restart, this results in a default configuration in platform mode, i.e. all config is lost.
