If you pre-configured this interface for manager access, then the interface will already be named,
enabled, and addressed. You should not alter any of these basic settings because doing so will disrupt
the management center management connection. You can still configure the Security Zone on this
screen for through traffic policies.
Note
a) Enter a Name up to 48 characters in length.
For example, name the interface outside.
b) Check the Enabled check box.
c) Leave the Mode set to None.
d) From the Security Zone drop-down list, choose an existing outside security zone or add a new one by
clicking New.
For example, add a zone called outside_zone.
