Management Interface Each Context

[fatalXerror]

Hi Guys,

I have ASA5516X that will run in multiple context and one management VLAN. Is it possible to assign the management interface to difference context so that each context's mgmt traffic will pass through that?

Thanks

Hi
the mgmt int when multiple contexts are in use is assigned to the admin context , i have never seen an option to move it as you need to control the other contexts from the admin context

After you are in multiple contextmode, connect to the system or the admin context to access the system configuration.You cannot configure the system from a non-admin context.By default,after you enable multiple context mode, you can connect to the admin context by using the default management IP address.

as @Mark Malone is right. however, if you have a requirement what you can do is to create a sub interface (ASA does not allow management interface to create a sub-interface) if you have any other spare gig port left you can create a sub-interface (this also require some config work at switch side). than go to each context and allocate it.

for example.

ASA-1
