I know of some security products that when put into inline or "transparent" mode allows an internally accessible IP 
address to be configured for management capability.

This is likely what they are referring to and is becoming more standard with the numerous inline appliances on the 
market.

An issue with this is that there is more risk of internal access to the management interface on these kind of products 
that don't have seperate management interfaces for isolation from the production network.
