FTD Management Interface as Gateway

[harshal.shahane]

Hello All,

We are currently in process for replacing an existing Check Point Firewall with Cisco FTD Appliance. In the current Check Point Setup we are using the Check Point as the Gateway for the Management Subnet ( Manager Appliance in Mgmt Subnet).

I went through multiple documents, but didn't come across a scenario/setting using which we can deploy the FTD in the similar fashion.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Hi Harshal,

FTD has a dedicated mgmt interface which cannot be used as gateway. It needs to be used only for the management purpose.

Do you want to use the inside interface for FTD management as well?

Thanks

Hello Yogesh,

Thanks for the reply.

Is it possible to use another interface (Inside) on FTD for Management as well as FMC connectivity. And, then use it as the gateway for that particular subnet.

Hi Harshal,

No, the management interface needs to be used for communication with FMC.
