Cisco ASA 5505 Transparent mode and Management access

[Brent Morris]

I have a need to manage the 5505 outside of the 2 interfaces however I see it documented that Management access is only via the data path interface. This won't work for me because there will be NO management access on the data network being bridged through the firewall. Is there any option outside of going to routed mode or moving to the 5510?

Hi,

Yup, no. The ASA only has the management IP address that can be routable anywhere, but it does not posses a management port for that.
