Management Interface
The management center communicates with the threat defense on the Management interface.
The dedicated Management interface is a special interface with its own network settings:
• By default, the Management 1/1 interface is enabled and configured as a DHCP client. If your network
does not include a DHCP server, you can set the Management interface to use a static IP address during
initial setup at the console port.
• Both the threat defenseand the management center require internet access from their management interfaces
for licensing and updates.
