4. Connect Interface Cables and Verify Connectivity
3
All management traffic to and from the non-ASA SSP must enter and exit the Management 1/0 or 1/1 interface.
Because this interface is not an ASA data interface, traffic cannot pass through the ASA over the backplane; you
need to physically cable the management interface to an ASA interface. Non-ASA SSPs usually need Internet
access for updates. See the following typical cabling setup to allow SSP access to the Internet through the ASA
management interface. Other options are possible, depending on how you want to connect your network; for
example, you can make the Management 1/0 interface outside facing; or you can route between it and a different
ASA interface if you have an inside router; and so on.
4. Connect Interface Cables and Verify Connectivity
1. Cable the management and data interfaces. See 3. Network Considerations for Multiple SSPs, page 2 for a
sample cabling scenario.
