You must not enable APIs on multiple management interfaces.
```

- Under the AsyncOS API (Monitoring) section, depending on your requirements, select HTTP, HTTPS, or both and the ports to use.

```
Note:	AsyncOS API communicates using HTTP / 1.1.If you have selected HTTPS and you want to use your own certificate for secure communication, see Securely Communicating with AsyncOS API.
```
