You must first onboard the device in the Administration module.

All files listed are required. The file access-list.txt is optional for ASA and FWSM; it is required if you want to use usage analysis features on your ASA and FWSM configurations.

To export Cisco device configurations, compete the following steps.

  1. Log in to the device as an administrator using SSH.
  2. Escalate to "enable" privileges. This is usually done with the commands enable and login, or a combination of the two. Occasionally, the SSH user name is configured to start in enable mode and neither command is necessary.

  3. Disable terminal paging.

    • On FWSM older than 3.1(1), run the command no pager.

    • On IOS, ASA, FWSM 3.1(1) and later, run the command terminal pager 0.

  4. Run the following commands and save the output into the files as listed below (alternate commands are also shown) for the specific device.
  5. Place all of these files in a folder named for the device.
