FTD multi-instance parent type

[KHernandezR]

Hi,

Based in the following link: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/fxos/fxos241/cli-guide/b_CLI_ConfigGuide_FXOS_241/interface_management.html#id_20107 in application management in FTD they have the following interface type:

- Data (Regular data, failover, link state)
- Data-sharing
- Mgmt
- Firepower-eventing
- Cluster

The link explained this hypothetical scenario:

Typical Multi-Instance Deployment

But, In a Multi-instance scenario  and excluding the cases:

- physical Chassis Management Interface used by FXOS to connect to an FMC as example or CLI purpose.

- Data type Failover and link state restricted to the same parent interface and type.

Can I mix in a same parent interface Data, Data-sharing and Management type using sub-interfaces?

Thanks,

Regards,

The answer is no.

you need seperate physical interfaces for Data, management, and chassis management.

But the Data interface can be split into subinterfaces.
