ASA5520 - Management0/0 Telnet/SSH/Ping Access

[Robert Ho]

hey all, hope this is an easy one.

- how can i setup the management interface so that we can ping to the mgmt interface from a subnet that is on a different subnet than the Management0/0 interface (source ip would be 192.168.100.0/24 which may conflict with the inside interface)

- i am able to telnet/ssh from the 192.168.100.0/24 subnet connected to a router behind the mgmt interface

- i am not able to ping the mgmt interface from the 192.168.100.0/24 subnet connected to a router behind the mgmt interface

- is a security level required on the mgmt interface? it does not  work unless we put one. if so, what are you guys setting it to?

interface Ethernet0/0.101

description Outside

vlan 101

nameif outside

security-level 0

ip address 101.1.1.100 255.255.255.0

interface Ethernet0/1.102

telnet 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 mgmt

I try to add a static route but get an error:

ASA5520(config)# route mgmt 192.168.0.0 255.255.252.0 192.168.253.1

ERROR: Cannot add route, connected route exists

Hello Robert,

by default the Managment interface of an ASA is going to be used just for managment traffic only.

Now in order to be able to use it as any other interface you will need to use the following command:

     -     Interface managment 0/0

     -     no managment-only

And just to let you know it is imposible to ping a distant interface as an example from a inside subnet to the outside interface ip .This as security measure.

Regards,

Julio

yes, our intent is to use it for mgmt only (telnet, ssh, ping, logging, snmp).

but, we are not able to reach it if the source ip is on another subnet one hop from the mgmt interface

for example

asa --> mgmt0/0 --> router --> source_ip

is this possible?

Hi,

you can use this command:

hostname(config)# management access management_interface
