Parse Cisco ASA and FTD LINA running configurations into the shared firewall schema. Use when input contains show running-config, access-list, access-group, object network, object-group, nameif, security-level, NAT, interfaces, or failover, including audit, conversion, diff, summary, and explanation tasks. For FMC- or FDM-managed Firepower policy exported as JSON, use parsing-firepower-configs instead.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

## Overview

Use this skill to parse Cisco ASA and ASA-style FTD running configurations into the shared vendor-neutral firewall intermediate schema. It focuses on line-oriented `show running-config` text with parent commands and indented subcommands, including interfaces/nameifs, ACLs/access-groups, network and service objects, object-groups, NAT, routes, VPN, failover, and system settings.

FMC- and FDM-managed policy is **not** parsed here. An FMC or FDM JSON export has
no syntactic overlap with LINA CLI — its policy lives in Access Control Policy
rules, security-zone objects, and intrusion/file policies rather than in
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mechubsec/fwskillsshare/parsing-cisco-configs@sha256:2ac6c16d18a0c448

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
