Configuring management interface in transparent firewall

thesikhkid — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 05:16:25 GMT

Hi there,

I know I have been asking basic questions. But I have 5520 with VPN plus license.

This firewall is in transparent mode now. How do I configure the management IP on this( I mean is there a dedicated management interface or what)

Regards,

Yad Singh

Hi,

Consider ASA in transparent mode just like a Layer 2 Switch , where you would have to define an SVI or IP address for management.

In the Case of ASA device , on ASA 8.2 and before , you can only configure one single IP address for management.

On the ASA 8.4 and above , we have something know as Bridge groups which are configured for the management IP address.

Refer these documents:-
