Configuring the ASA CX Module
ASA 5512-X through ASA 5555-X (Software Module)
These models run the ASA CX module as a software module, and the ASA CX management interface
shares the Management 0/0 interface with the ASA.
If you have an inside router
If you have an inside router, you can route between the Management 0/0 network, which includes both
the ASA and ASA CX management IP addresses, and the inside network for Internet access. Be sure to
also add a route on the ASA to reach the Management network through the inside router.
If you do not have an inside router
If you have only one inside network, then you cannot also have a separate management network. In this
case, you can manage the ASA from the inside interface instead of the Management 0/0 interface. If you
remove the ASA-configured name from the Management 0/0 interface, you can still configure the ASA
