Performing Basic Configuration Tasks

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: You can click Install Later to upgrade the firmware later. An Upgrade Available link will be displayed at the top right corner of the screen and the Setup Wizard will now launch. We strongly recommend that you upgrade the firmware immediately.

STEP 4 Validate your Cisco.com account credentials through the Internet. If your Cisco.com account credentials are valid, the security appliance starts downloading and installing the firmware. This process will take several minutes.

STEP 5 The security appliance reboots after the firmware is upgraded. You will be redirected to the login screen when the security appliance boots up.

STEP 6 Log in to the Configuration Utility again. The Setup Wizard will launch. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the initial configuration. See Using the Setup Wizard for the Initial Configuration, page 36.

NOTE Other options to upgrade the firmware:

If you cannot access the Internet after you log in to the Configuration Utility for the first time, you can use the Setup Wizard to configure your Internet connection and then automatically check for firmware updates after the Setup Wizard is complete. The Setup Wizard also allows you to manually upgrade the firmware from a firmware image stored on your local PC. See Using the Setup Wizard for the Initial Configuration, page 36.

You can manually upgrade the firmware from a firmware image stored on your PC or on a USB device. You must first download the latest firmware image from Cisco.com and save it to your local PC or to a USB device. See Upgrading Firmware from a PC or a USB Device, page 437.

The security appliance automatically checks for firmware updates from Cisco’s IDA server every 24 hours. You can upgrade your firmware to the latest version if a newer firmware is available on Cisco.com. This feature requires that you have an active WAN connection and a valid Cisco.com account is configured on the security appliance in advance. See Upgrading your Firmware from Cisco.com, page 436.

Backing Up Your Configuration

At any point during the configuration process, you can back up your configuration. Later, if you make changes that you want to abandon, you can easily restore the saved configuration. See Backing Up and Restoring a Configuration, page 416.
