Maagment interface with custom port

SubaMuthuram — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 10:53:48 GMT

Hi all,

Is there any way to change the management interface web access from default port(443) to custom port?

Please share your thoughts.

Could you explain why you would need to do this.... this may assist with an alternate solution.

@SubaMuthuram,

You can't do this directly with the management port. The way you would do this is through putting a management profile on another interface, usually a loopback, and then setting up a NAT statement for the port redirect for your desired port. It's really a workaround solution and isn't something that I would generally recommend folks do outside of really specific situations; because management access can easily be restricted through the firewall itself, there isn't much reason to change the port.
