Cisco ASA with Firepower Services

Using SSH, Telnet Or The Console

For this procedure you will be using the Command Line Interface (CLI) of your Cisco device using an SSH client (such as OpenSSH or Putty), Telnet or through the console port. We would recommend using either SSH (for remote connections) or using a direct connection to the console port. 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.

1. Connect to the Cisco ASA device using your favorite SSH client, Telnet or a direct console connection.

2. Logon using your administration authentication credentials.

3. Enter

   Copy

   enable 

   and type in your enable password.

4. Execute the following CLI command:

   Copy

   show module

5. Then execute either of the following CLI commands (the first command is preferred, the second should be considered legacy):

   Copy

   more system:running-config

   Copy

   show run

6. Then capture the output (possibly using the cut and paste facility)

7. Save the captured output to a file and remove any visible page lines (i.e. --More--).
