How to Save Command Output to Flash on ASA 8.4

Hi,

I nice easy one for you guys.

How do you save the command output from the CLI to a file on flash?

With IOS, I would normally use a pipe command to redirect to tftp, but the ASA doesn't support this as far as I can tell. As a work around I was thinking I could save the output to flash and then tftp that file off the ASA.

Thanks,

Paul

Easier solution for you - just use the telnet/ssh client logging feature to save the output of ASA command to a text file.

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for your help. I do use this feature at the moment, but I find every break in the output (where you need to hit space to see more) gets recorded which leaves the file quite messy. I usually have to edit the file afterwards so it reads clearly.

I wondered if there is a way for the asa to write the output directly?

Thanks,

Paul

you can change the setting so there is no break in the output on the ASA:

pager 0

Setting it to 0 means no break line.

If you want to run long output for example: show tech, or show run, then quickly change the pager to 0, and change it back to number of lines you want before break (by default it's 24 lines).
