View "Names" list from ASDM

[Dean Romanelli]

Hi All,

Is there a way in ASDM to view the entires that appear in the running-config "names" section?

i.e.

names
name 192.168.x.x IT
name 192.168.xxx.0 Wireless
name 192.168.xxx.0 LAN
name 192.168.1xxx.0 SAN
name 192.168.xxx.0 DMZ
name 192.168.xxx.0 TRANSIT
name 192.168.xxx.0 AnyConnect-VPN
 

I know you can view objects & object groups via Configuration--->Firewall--->Objects--->Network Objects/Groups, but the entires from "names" don't show up in that list, and I can't find where they would be in the ASDM.

I'm not 100% positive but I don't believe "names" can be configured or displayed from current ASDM versions.

Cisco has been deprecating the "names" in favor of network-objects since ASA 8.3(1).

Hi Dean,

Names appear as part of the object section.

I tested in an ASA with 8.2(5) and ASDM 7.3.2

I did the same with a 9.4(1) ASDM 7.4.1. and this one only shows the IPs without the names. This is because, as Marvin mentions, names are being deprecated and are no longer usable and have been replaced for objects.

In Cisco ASDM (Adaptive Security Device Manager), the "names" command is used to define network objects with symbolic names for IP addresses. However, these entries are not directly visible in the ASDM graphical user interface (GUI) under the "Configuration" tab.

To view the entries defined using the "names" command, you typically need to look at the running configuration or use the CLI (Command Line Interface). Here's how you can view them:

CLI (Command Line Interface): Access the device using SSH or the console, and then enter privileged exec mode by typing enable. After that, you can view the running configuration using the following command:

show running-config | include name

1. This command filters the running configuration to display lines containing the "name" command and the associated network objects.

2. ASDM: Although the ASDM GUI doesn't have a direct section for viewing "names," you can navigate to "Tools" > "Command Line Interface" within ASDM. From there, you can enter the command:

show running-config | include name

1. The output will display the lines with the "name" command.

Please note that the exact steps might vary slightly based on the ASDM version and device configuration. If the "names" section doesn't appear directly in the ASDM GUI, the CLI is the most reliable way to view these entries.
