I could no longer ‘ping it’, the SFR itself could ping everything on the same VLAN, APART from its own default gateway, (which was an SVI on the Cisco 3750 switch it was connected to).

Cisco Firepower Services – Change IP and DNS Addresses
KB ID 0001173 Problem If you change your internal LAN addresses its easy to re-ip the firewall but what about the FirePOWER module?
