How to install a naked Firepower 1010?

[swscco001]

Hello everyone,

a customer has a Firepower 1010 without image that is booting
in the rommon mode.

There is a FAT32-formated USB stick with the current Firepower release
cisco-ftd-fp1k.7.6.0-113.SPA

How can I transfer the OS file from the USB stick to the Firepower 1010
within the rommon mode (if this ispossibe):

rommon1 > ?
?                   Display this help menu
address             Set the local IP address
alias               Set and display alias commands

sync                Save the environment variables to persistent storage

unalias             Unset an alias
unset               Clear a configured environment variable

When I put the USB stick in the Firepower 1010 it seams not to be recognized:

rommon 31 > dir disk1:
media drive disk1: not present

If this is not possible from the USB stick, how can I bring the file to the Firepower 1010
with another method? Is there an example?

Thanks a lot!

@swscco001 refer to the relevant section in this guide.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/2100/troubleshoot_fxos/b_2100_CLI_Troubleshoot/b_2100_CLI_Troubleshoot_chapter_011.html#task_ryc_5wm_1jb

Hi Rob, thanks for your fast reply!

the command

rommon 1 > dir usb:

from the guide does not work unfortunately.

rommon 1 > dir usb:
Device not found usb:

I tried different FAT32-formated USB sticks.

Could it be that the support of the USB port in the rommon is not
given at the Firepower 1010 but just at the bigger models. If yes,
then this should be stated in the guide.

Would be TFTP now the only alternative to bring the OS image into
the firewall?

Thanks,



Bye

@swscco001 The guide is for 1000, 2100, 3100 and 4100 devices, so I don't see why it should not work.

Either try another USB drive or yes use a TFTP server to download the image to the device, that would be straightforward.
