Information About the Management IP Address
A transparent firewall does not participate in IP routing. The only IP configuration required for the
adaptive security appliance is to set the management IP address. This address is required because the
adaptive security appliance uses this address as the source address for traffic originating on the adaptive
security appliance, such as system messages or communications with AAA servers. You can also use this
address for remote management access.
For IPv4 traffic, the management IP address is required to pass any traffic. For IPv6 traffic, you must, at
a minimum, configure the link-local addresses to pass traffic, but a global management address is
recommended for full functionality, including remote management and other management operations.
Note In addition to the management IP address for the device, you can configure an IP address for the
Management 0/0 or 0/1 management-only interface. This IP address can be on a separate subnet from
the main management IP address. See the “Configuring General Interface Parameters” section on
page 8-22.
Although you do not configure IPv4 or global IPv6 addresses for other interfaces, you still need to
configure the security level and interface name according to the “Configuring General Interface
Parameters” section on page 8-22.
