Copy config file to a new router

[jhalket]

I am trying to copy a config file from one router to another.

I have the original config in a text file but when I copy it to the other router around half of the lines show up as an error and can't be read. The configuration file is fine because the original router works fine.

Both routers are ciscoASA5505

Only difference I can see is the ASA version (ASA Version 9.0(1) on original and ASA Version 8.2(5) on the one I'm copying to could this be the issue? How do I update?

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks

Hello
The syntax for the newer 9.1 code is different to the older 8.2 as such that would be why you are most probably seeing those errors

Hi

What marce and paul said is the most likely reason. However, sometimes If you just send all configuration to the console, there might be that the parser get overloaded, and misses something, then you get errors. If you send just small parts of the config at times, parser will not get overloaded
