Configuration is not being downloaded properly with the output of: and had the below error in the session trace.
“ : ^ 2: ERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
Other issues:
- The issue seems to be only with running-config, so when you download the running config above output is something we can see (WRONG)/
- Whenever you download startup-config, it works fine. Please note that the firewall has running-config saved in startup-config anytime change is implemented by the write memory command, which saves running-config into startup-config.
The device template is “Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance”.
Product section
Cause
The following command to download the running config is specified in the device template:
more system:running-config
The device does not accept this command. Device report error % Invalid input detected at '^' marker in response to this command.
Please try Putty and find out what is the correct command to download the running-config for the device (could be just show running). Once the correct command is found, update the device template in place of:
<Command Name="Running" Value="more system:running-config"/>
Resolution
Restore the default template back as below for Cisco ASA:
