Managing logical device ASA from Firepower 4120 physical management port

gb7832
Level 1
Level 1

I can't find any documentation that this is doable. 

It seems that I need to burn one of the 8 ports to manage the logical ASA directly.

That's correct. The physical management port is for management of the chassis.

 

Logical devices need to have a port assigned from among the interfaces allocated to them. If it's an ASA logical device, you can allow management from a data interface.

The part about needing to allocate an interface for management of an FTD logical device is true.

 

The difference is that an FTD device must have a dedicated management/eventing interface to talk to the managing FMC. You don't have the option of relying solely on the "inside" or other such interface like you can with an ASA logical device.

Thanks for the confirmation. 

 

Is this, also, true if my logical device is FTD?

Awesome info!  Thanks Marvin!
