Firepower can connect to any lan port instead using the management port

Hi Guys,

I have a questions. I'm not sure whether the Firepower module of the ASA 5516-X can connect to any of the LAN ports instead of using the management interface. Do you think it is possible to do that?

Thanks for your response.

Kind Regard,

Michelle
