Is it possible to register FTD to FMC using the FTD's data interface and not the management?

Let me change the question, is it possible to register FTD to FMC but the gateway of the management ip is the data interface? Thanks

Short answer no, if you are registering the FTD to FMC for first time. You can use one of below options as a workaround. Furthermore, once you register the FTD to FMC, you can configure any other data interface to communicate with FMC.

 

Those workarounds are illustrated using FPR-1010 model:

Option 1: use L2 switch to connect both the data interface and management interface, then connect the L2 switch to the network where FMC is reachable from.

Option 2: Is to connect MGMT interface into another interface, then make this interface and data interface where FMC is reachable from as a switch interface.
