Management Interface

The Management interface is separate from the other interfaces on the device. It is used to set up and register the device to the management center. It uses its own IP address and static routing. You can configure its settings at the CLI using the configure network command. You can also view its status on the Devices > Device Management > Devices > Interfaces page. If you change the IP address at the CLI after you add it to the management center, you can match the IP address in the Secure Firewall Management Center in the Devices > Device Management > Devices > Management area.

You can alternatively manage the threat defense using a data interface instead of the Management interface.
