asdm copy paste rule

hi,

I have two ASDM sessions opened toward two firewall devices. I need to copy rules between them. If I copy rule on source device, paste option on destination asdm session is not available. Is there a way to copy rule directly to another device using paste option?

@DraganSkundric87318 the simpliest way to copy configuration between different ASA should be done using the CLI.

@DraganSkundric87318 the copy and paste function within ASDM works for within the same ASDM session, as you've found out you cannot copy from one ASDM session to another on a different ASA. Using the CLI or pasting the CLI commands from within the ASDM GUI will work. You may need to reorganise the commands before importing to the new ASA.
