Cisco ASA Version and Show Run Output

[kottkellc]

I have two ASA 5510 Firewall devices, one running on ASA version 8.4 and another on 9.1.  When I do SH RUN on each, the output it different, is that normal ? On the 8.4 firewall I get 17 pages information while on the 9.1 I only get 11 pages.

Thank you.

I would not be surprised or consider it problematic if the size of the output of show run varied between firewalls, especially when they are running different versions of code. With different versions of code there will be differences in what features are supported which might impact the amount of output. And it is likely that the ASAs are configured differently. For example one ASA might have multiple site to site VPNs configured each of which needs crypto ACL, crypto map, tunnel group, NAT/NAT exemption which would contribute to differences in amount of config output.
