Chapter 3 Installing a Firepower 7000 Series Managed Device
Testing an Inline Bypass Interface Installation
Step 6
Using your keyboard/monitor or serial connection, log into the device using an account with
Administrator privileges. The password is the same as the password for the device’s web interface.
The prompt for the device appears.
Step 7
Shut down the device by typing
system shutdown
.
You can also shut down the device using its web interface; see the Managing Devices chapter in the
Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide.
As most devices power off, they emit an audible
click sound. The click is the sound of relays switching and the device going into hardware bypass.
Step 8
Wait 30 seconds.
Verify that your ping traffic resumes.
Step 9
Power the device back on, and verify that your ping traffic continues to pass.
Step 10
For Firepower devices that support tap mode, you can test and record ping latency results under the
following sets of conditions:
•
device powered off
•
device powered on, policy with no rules applied, inline intrusion policy protection mode
•
device powered on, policy with no rules applied, inline intrusion policy protection tap mode
•
device powered on, policy with tuned rules applied, inline intrusion policy protection mode
Ensure that the latency periods are acceptable for your installation. For information on resolving
excessive latency problems, see Configuring Packet Latency Thresholding and Understanding Rule
Latency Thresholding in the
Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide
