You can show the “ running-config” using the option on the File menu.

You should now see the ADSM or PDM application, both of which are shown in the screens below.

Logon using your administration username and password.

On ADSM-capable devices, click on the “ Run ADSM as a Java Applet” button.

You can do this by entering followed by your devices IP address.

Using your favorite web browser, connect to the HTTPS service provided by your Cisco device for remote management.

The procedure for getting the configuration from the your device is as follows:

Whether you have access to ASDM or PDM will depend on your security appliance (and its age), but the procedure is the same for both. The ASDM and PDM interfaces can be accessed using a web browser with Java capabilities. There are multiple ways that you can extract the configuration from your Cisco Security Appliance, this section outlines just three of those. Using Device Interfaces Cisco Security Applicances

McAfee Enterprise, Secure Computing And CyberGuard (Sidewinder) Firewalls Configuration File.

Juniper Netscreen Firewall Configuration File.

Check Point, Nokia IP And Crossbeam Firewalls Configuration File.

Security Applicances (ASA, FWSM And PIX).

More information on extracting your devices configuration can be found in your devices documentation.

Telnet provides no encryption of the communications and therefore your authentication credentials and configuration would be vulnerable if a malicious user were to monitor your connection.

We would recommend using either SSH (for remote connections) or using a direct connection to the console port. We would recommend using HTTPS rather than HTTP for transferring your devices configuration as the latter provides no encryption. We recommend that you use either ASDM, PDM, HTTPS, SSH or a direct console connection to the device in order to get the configuration. Your configuration should be treated as sensitive information, just like your personal details should be considered as sensitive information.įor that reason we would recommend that the configuration should be transferred using an encrypted connection in order to help prevent it from being leaked. The Import Configuration File link lets you import a configuration fileįrom the local machine or from the respective Firewall devices to the Firewall Analyzer.
