ASA 5510 Management Interface Question

[d8k2s9g2k]

Can the physical management interface on the ASA 5510 be accessed through a VPN connection from the outside interface?

Hello Richard,

You need to enable the management-access command, to manage the ASA box through VPN. the command syntax is somewhat like this:

hostname(config)#management-access inside

You can find more info about this command on the following URL:

Do this and let us know if it works. all the best. rate replies if found useful.

I currently have the ASA5510 setup using the physical inside interface (10.0.1.X) and a VLAN inside subinterface (192.168.0.X) network. I VPN into the ASA5510 to access both networks on the inside interface. I want to move the (10.0.1.X) network to the physical management interface and move the (192.168.0.X) network up to the physical inside interface, getting rid of the VLAN on the inside. Will I still be able to access the (10.0.1.X) network from the VPN as before if I do this? What are the capabilities/limitations of the management physical interface?
