Restoring FTD Webgui after disconnecting from FMC

[Cormac Champion]

Hi all,

I had an FTD (2110) connected to an FMC but need to join it to a different FMC.  So I broke it's HA and then deleted it from the FMC. 

I still have full SSH access to the FTD unit but am looking to get webgui access to it once again - or can I just connect it to another FMC ?  I need to change it's IP address too.

Hi,
To get back the web gui you need to change the device manager to locally. To change the IP address of management interface of FTD you can go to CLI and enter connect ftd then enter the below command to change management IP
configure network ipv4 manual <mgmt0 IP> <netmask> <gateway> management0

Thanks,

Thanks for that.  I have already deleted it from the FMC.  Should I add it back in, to then set the Device Manager to Locally, or can I do this from the command line ?

Hi,

If you would like to manage FTD locally then you can do it from the CLI itself.
Configure manager delete command will delete the existing manager and enter Configure manager local to manage locally via FDM

From your FTD ssh cli, you should be able to do a "configure manager delete <old FMC>" and then "configure manager add <new FMC and shared secret>"
