I have confiured Inline Interface pair. My question is to manage 4240, what option do I have? I know using management interface is one option. However, due to security concern, they don't want to use management interface. I was wondering if there is any other way I can manage. </P><P></P><P>Thanks.</P> Sun, 10 Mar 2019 11:22:55 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-4240-configuration-question/m-p/1083517#M78309 peterhkim 2019-03-10T11:22:55Z Re: IPS 4240 configuration question https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-4240-configuration-question/m-p/1083518#M78310 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The only way to communicate to your 4240 is via the management interface (ethernet) or via the console port (serial).
