Multi-context ASA use of admin context

[Julian Regel]

Are there any recommendations regarding the use of the "admin" context in an ASA multi-context configurations?

Can it be used for normal firewalling duties, or is it recommended to not use it for general use?

Thanks!

You can use it as a "normal" traffic passing context. You just shouldn't give it to a context-customer.

hi,

best practice is to use the 'admin' context for remote SSH and ASDM access.

just allocate a 'management' interface (under system context) or route the management traffic via the 'inside' interface.
