Explanation

To enable IP connectivity to the firewall's management interface, three settings are required: an IP address (E) to identify the interface on the network, a netmask (B) to define the subnet, and a default gateway (C) so the firewall can route management traffic to hosts outside its local subnet. Without all three, the management interface either has no address, cannot determine local vs. remote destinations, or has no path off-subnet. A hostname is useful for identification but is not required for network connectivity. Auto-negotiation is a link-layer setting that is optional and defaults to enabled; it is not a required configuration item for management access.
