Management Network

By default, the Traffic Manager accepts management traffic on all of its network interfaces. All management traffic is encrypted or secured

Management traffic includes the following types:

Access to the Web-based administration interface (also known as the Admin UI).

Connections through the SOAP-based Control API, the REST API, and Command-Line Interface (CLI).

Internal health and state sharing traffic.

You typically use a network firewall to prevent external clients from attempting to access any of the management interfaces.

For heightened security, the Traffic Manager enables you to nominate a particular network interface for management traffic. This interface can reside on a secure internal management network.
