8-Management Access List
8-Management Access List
By default, you can reach the device's Firepower Device Manager web or CLI interfaces on the
Management address from any IP address. System access is protected by username/password
only. However, you can configure an access list to allow connections from specific IP addresses
or subnets only to provide another level of protection. You can also open data interfaces to
allow Firepower Device Manager or SSH connections to the CLI. You can then manage the
device without using the management address.
Click Device, then click the System Settings > Management Access link.
The list of rules defines which addresses are allowed access to the indicated port: 443 for
Firepower Device Manager (the HTTPS web interface), 22 for the SSH CLI. The rules are not an
ordered list. If an IP address matches any rule for the requested port, the user is allowed to
attempt logging into the device. To delete a rule, click the trash can icon (delete icon) for the
rule. If you delete all of the rules for a protocol, no one can access the device on that interface
using the protocol.
