I have a 4240 that is physically sitting in between my edge router and my ASA - One interface is connected to router and the other is connected to ASA. I have confiured Inline Interface pair. My question is to manage 4240, what option do I have? I know using management interface is one option. However, due to security concern, they don't want to use management interface. I was wondering if there is any other way I can manage.
Thanks.

The only way to communicate to your 4240 is via the management interface (ethernet) or via the console port (serial). The management interface allows you a lot more flexibility, ssh, IDM (the GUI interface), event feeds to a SIM platform (via SDEE protocol), and most importantly; software and signature updates.
Why would you want to place your IPS sensors OUTSIDE your firewall?

This was their requirement putting IPS in between router and FW. I guess I have to use management interface. Thanks for your help.
