Hello,

Please issue the following command:

5500-60(config)# pager 0

5500-60(config)# pager ?

configure mode commands/options:
  <0-2147483647>  Pager lines, 0 means no page-limit
  lines           The number following this keyword determines the number of
                  lines in a page before ---more--- prompt appears, default is
                  24

This will populate the entire config in one go.

Then, in hyper terminal,

Click Transfer -> Capture Text -> Browse for a txt file -> Start

on ASA, either do  show run all or show tun (depending on requirement)

Click Transfer -> Capture Text -> Stop

The .txt file will have all the conifuration.

Hope this helps. Please reply if you need further assistance.

i can capture the running config but the config is comming in single line like this

failoverfailover lan unit primaryfailover lan interface fover Ethernet0failover lan enablefailover replication http

i need to hit enter at regular intervals to make it look meaning full

failover

failover lan unit primary

failover lan interface fover Ethernet0

failover lan enable

failover replication http

hope i m clear in expressng .

i think this is draw back of hyper terminal

I think that Hyperterminal is one of my least favourite programs for the reasons you listed in your posts.

I suggest that you swap to a program like Putty for managing your Cisco devices and copying configs. It is free and has several useful features.

It can be dowanloade from here:

Hello,

Please reopen the file saved using word pad and not using note pad. In word pad you will find all the spaces and alignement as you will find in CLI using hyper terminal.

Hope this helps.
