Admin Context - Do i need to assign interfaces for Mgmt?

[mgleason]

I am building out 2 virtual firewalls using contexts in an active/active F/O pair, and would like to know if it is necessary to assign at least one interface to the admin context?

My other contexts will have outside, inside, DMZ and stateful F/O interfaces.  And i plan on administering these contexts by SSH to the inside of one of the active Firewall contexts.

Also from what i am reading i see the system/admin context does AAA, Syslog, F/O config, interface allocations, etc.  So, in the Firewalls I assume i dont need to configure AAA, syslog, etc.  Is this a correct statement?

Thanks,

Mike

We do not assign interfaces to admin context but to do assign interfaces to other context from admin. So innitially you get only admin context from where you allocate interface/resources to other contexts.
