Management Interface

Hey, what is a use of Management Interface? Can anyone explain briefly.

Thanks!

They are for all other traffic except, well, management 😉

I use them for SSH, NTP, SNMP, RADIUS to the device, i.e. all management stuff, no through traffic.

They're nice because you can keep all the management traffic out-of-band from your through traffic.

It means if i select any ASA interface for Management Interface then no incoming and outgoing traffic will come through other interfaces. Am I right? Can you pls explain briefly as I am bit confused in understanding? Thanks
