HowTo change Managment ip addresses FTD managment ip (under HA)

tanri04

Level 1

There are 2 FTDs connected to the FMC and under HA.
I want to change their management IP addresses. How do I do this step by step?

FMC IP 10.12.200.28/24
FTD 1 IP 10.12.200.11/24
FTD 2 IP 10.12.200.12/24

These FTDs are connected to HA on FMC.

I want to move these IP addresses to a new subnet without interruption.
FMC ip 10.12.120.100/24
FTD 1 ip 10.12.120.101/24
FTD 1 ip 10.12.120.102/24

How do I do this step by step?

Personally i do below :

1. take the configuration backup out of the box

2. Do not make any changes on FMC

3. Since MGMT only to manage the devices, so it wont break HA, make sure you are not monitory MGMT in HA monitor 

4. de-register from FMC

5. you can break the HA (personally you do not need)

6. change the MGMT IP to new IP one at a time, 

7. re-register both FTD and make sure they have register

8 check the HA is ok

9, push test policy and test it.

Order is change FMC IP and FTD IP is good option.

make sure where ever new IP required to change like AAA or Logging so on to reflect new IP.

The management interface is not monitored under HA.
The Ethernet 4 interfaces of the FTDs are connected to each other (HA links).
Should I delete and add the configure manager?
Can I manually configure the network IPv4 without breaking HA (without breaking or suspending HA)? When I add it again, will the Access Control Policy:* on the FMC remain intact?

As Long as you not making any changes on FMC while doing this ip change task, the configuration will be intact and FTD work as expected.

as i suggested always take the  backup config out of the box  to be safe.

you do not need to break the HA since Management not related to HA (and you mentioned not monitored)

yes change the IP , delete and register with new IP for configure manager

> configure network ipv4 manual 10.12.120.101 255.255.255.0 10.12.120.1
> configure manager delete
> configure manager add 10.12.120.100??? ( Alpha-numeric between 2 and 36 chars registration key) When I enter this, it asks for a registration key at the end. I don't know the registration key for the FTDs added with the old IP. What happens if I enter a new registration key?

if you deleted old and adding new, you need to use new registration that can be used both the sides FMC and FTD same key to communicate and trust.

you can not go back to OLD key since you do not have it in your key store safe i guess.
