Managing an FDM-Managed Device from the Outside Interface

Managing an cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center device from the outside interface may be desirable if you have one public IP address assigned to a branch office and Security Cloud Control is managed using a Cloud Connector at another location.

This configuration doesn't mean that the physical MGMT interface is no longer the device's management interface. If you were in the office where the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center device was located, you would be able to connect to the address of the MGMT interface and manage the device directly.

Remote Access VPN Requirement

If the device you manage with cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center will be managing Remote Access VPN (RA VPN) connections, cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center will not be able to manage the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center device using the outside interface. See Managing an FDM-Managed Device from the Inside Interface instead.

What to do next:

Continue to Manage the FDM-Managed Device's Outside Interface for the procedure for configuring the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center device.
