FWSM (where is the debug troubleshooting facilities?)

[mcroft]

Hi,

Thanks for reading ... hope someone can help.

I have just taken over some FWSM running fairly old code (3.1)

I have previously worked with ASA and PIX's, so this is fairly new to me.

I am troubleshooting some traffic issues. I noticed a few commands/tools that are not available.

There is no "debug NAT " facility unlike on the ASA's

There is no capture "match" command boo hoo.

And there is no "packet tracer" ASDM tool ..... which is a fantastic troubleshooting tool.

Any advise really really appreciated.

Thanksnat

Matt

Sorry to disappoint, but unfortunately there won't be feature to feature parity between ASA and FWSM.

It is indeed very similar in terms of configuration, but FWSM is lacking quite a number of tools that ASA has.

FWSM will be replaced by ASA-SM which has the exact same tools as the existing ASA appliance.
