FTD Initial Configuration

[caiobomani]

Good morning everyone!

I'm currently new to FTD and I'm struggling with one of my boxes.

Basically i need to restore the management interface back to its default so i can perform some basic configuration on the firewall and add a FMC later.

I kind of messed up the initial configuration dialog and i cannot either restore that prompt or access the FTD device directly via its management interface (there is no http access enabled neither an ACL allowing a specific range to access it).

I'm trying to figure out a way to restore it back to as it was when it came out of the box so i can proceed with the configurations but that CLI does not help me at all.

Is there any way to restore it to factory default?

Thanks in advance.

You can try with the commands:
connect local-mgmt
erase configuration

Have you tried the command: configure network ipv4 manual 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1

or you could do the following for a factory restore explained in this document:

That actually did the trick:

configure manager local

That way i've regain web access to the firewall via management interface.

Thank you all.
