Use management port on ASA 5512

[Stein IT]

Hi, I was just wondering if there is a way to turn off dedicated to Management on the management port for the ASA 5512? every time I try i get the following error

"ERROR: It is not allowed to make changes to this option for management interface on this platform."

No, on this ASA the management-port can't be used for firewall-traffic:

(it's the column "Configurable for Through Traffic")

Unfortunately the management interface on the 5512X can't be configured for through traffic.

Have a look at Table 1  Management Interfaces Per Model:
