Here is my process of configuration and upgrading

 

 

1) License and first time configure the LTM through the management port via directly connected laptop

 

 

2) Once it's on the wire I abandon the management port and do my upgrades using the combination serial console (Remote Terminal server) and GUI and SSH via self-addresses (through the network)

 

 

From that point that is how I manage them and it hasn't failed me yet.

 

 

Unfortunatly, I have seen picular things with the management port in the past. One of the main things (outside the Lights Out piece) is that it shares the same routing table with the rest of the OS. In my world that is a no-no.
