Configuration import for offline device management

Configuration import for offline device management is a feature that

  • allows you to review, analyze, and optimize device settings without requiring access to a live device in your network

  • creates models that represent copies of device configurations for policy review, planning, and reuse, and

  • processes uploaded configuration files so they appear in the Security Devices list for labeling, reviewing, and managing like other supported devices.

Supported device types

You can import the configurations for these device types into Security Cloud Control Firewall Management:

  • Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA): You can upload an ASA configuration file to create an ASA model for offline review and management. For more information, refer to Create and Import an ASA Model.

  • Cisco IOS devices such as Aggregation Services Routers (ASRs) and Integrated Services Routers (ISRs): You can upload a text-based running configuration file to create an IOS model for offline analysis and reuse. For more information, refer to Create and Import an ASR or ISR Model.
