Management IP Address

The Management IP pane lets you set the management IP address for the security appliance or for a
context in transparent firewall mode. A transparent firewall does not participate in IP routing. The only
IP configuration required for the security appliance is the management IP address. The exception is that
you can set the IP address for the Management 0/0 management-only interface, which does not pass
through traffic. See the Configuring Interfaces in Single Mode chapter to set the IP address for
Management 0/0.
This address is required, because the security appliance uses this address as the source address for traffic
originating on the security appliance, such as system messages or communications with AAA servers.
You can also use this address for remote management access.
