FP2100 with/ASA multiple context - SSH access to FXOS mgmt

[danielbarri]

On FP 2110, Is there any support for SSH Management Access for FXOS on Data interfaces; when ASA is running in multiple context mode?

The available configurations guides, among others (”Cisco ASA for Firepower 2100 Series” and ” Cisco ASA Series General Operations CLI Configuration Guide, 9.9”) are mentioning that those guides are only for "Single context mode only"

Access to the FX-OS cli is via either the console port of the front panel management interface. Accessing it via the logical device data interface is not supported.

My question was in reference to ”Configure Management Access for FXOS on Data Interfaces” (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/quick_start/fp2100/asa-2100-gsg/getting-started.html#id_54387)

”If you want to manage FXOS on the Firepower 2100 from a data interface, you can configure SSH, HTTPS, and SNMP access”

   Single context mode only.

Which options do we have, for SSH, in case ASA is in multi context mode?

Ah OK, that is a quirky mode unique to the 2100 series.

Why not use the standard (Management1/1) interface for FX-OS access?
