Performing Basic Configuration Tasks

 

 

 

 

 

New password: Enter a new administrator password. Passwords are case sensitive.

NOTE: A password requires a minimum of 8 characters, including at least

three of these character classes: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters. Do not repeat any password more than three times in a row. Do not set the password as the username or “cisco.” Do not capitalize or spell these words backwards.

Confirm password: Enter the new administrator password again for confirmation.

STEP 2 Click OK to save your settings.

Upgrading your Firmware After your First Login

The security appliance uses a built-in IDA client to query the firmware from Cisco’s IDA server. If a newer firmware is detected after you log in to the Configuration Utility for the first time, we recommend that you upgrade your firmware to the latest version before you do any other tasks. This feature requires that you have an active WAN connection to access the Internet.

STEP 1 Log in to the Configuration Utility for the first time and change the default administrator password. See Logging in to the Configuration Utility, page 26.

If newer firmware is detected, the Firmware Upgrade window opens. The version number for the firmware that you are currently using and the version number for the latest firmware that is detected are displayed.

STEP 2 Enter your Cisco.com account credentials in the Username and Password fields.

A valid Cisco.com account is required to download and install the firmware from Cisco.com. If you do not have one, go to this page:

https:// tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do

Then click the Create a Cisco.com Account link to register a Cisco.com account.

NOTE: Skip this step if your Cisco.com account credentials are already configured on the security appliance.

STEP 3 Click Continue.
