The management (MGT) interface does not
require an Interface Management profile. You restrict protocols,
services, and IP addresses for the MGT interface when you
Perform
Initial Configuration of the firewall. In case the MGT interface
goes down, allowing management access over another interface enables
you to continue managing the firewall. When enabling access to a
firewall interface using an Interface Management profile, make sure
you do not enable management access (HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, or Telnet)
from the internet or from other untrusted zones inside your enterprise
security boundary. Follow the
Best
Practices for Securing Administrative Access to ensure that
you are properly securing management access to your firewall.
