ASA changes in running config

jmprats — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 19:43:36 GMT

Is there any way to see the changes in running config?

Sometimes, when you close the ASDM, it asks to save the changes, but you don't know what changes are you saving... which is very dangerous

Thanks

Hello,

You can turn on logging and monitor the changes through log messages. You might be better off using a logging server instead of buffered logging. Logging message ID 11108 at level 5 will capture any commands you have entered into the firewall (through command line or through ASDM).

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Yes you can.

From the ASDM, you can enable the following:

Tools --> Preferences --> enable "Preview commands before sending them to the device"

When you click on "Apply", it will show you the command line on what changes you have performed before applying the commands that you add or modify from ASDM into the ASA running configuration.

Hope that helps.
