Update the Hostname or IP Address in the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center

This task allows you to manually update the hostname or IP address on the managing Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center when device network settings have been modified outside of the management interface.

If you edit the hostname or IP address of a device after you added it to the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center (using the device's CLI, for example), you need to use this procedure to manually update the hostname or IP address on the managing Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center.

To change the device management IP address on the device, see Modify Firewall Threat Defense management interface settings at the CLI.

If you used only the NAT ID when registering the device, then the IP shows as NO-IP on this page, and you do not need to update the IP address/hostname.

If you used zero-touch provisioning to register the device on the outside interface, the hostname is automatically generated along with a matching DDNS configuration. You cannot edit the hostname in this case.
