Informational Message>Unsupported
The Cisco PIX Device Manager (PDM) does not support the complete
command set
of the
Command Line Interface
(CLI). PDM cannot function
normally when unsupported commands are in the running configuration. This has important implications when using PDM.
The following sections are included in this Help topic:
Effects of Unsupported Commands
●
Monitor Only Mode
●
Exiting Monitor Only Mode
●
Unsupported Parsed Commands
Causing Monitor Only Mode
●
Unsupported Command Combinations

●
Unsupported Unparsed Commands

●

●
Effects of Unsupported Commands
As PDM opens, it loads the
running configuration
from the PIX Firewall unit. If it encounters no unsupported commands, access to all PDM
functions is granted for normal operation mode.
●
If PDM loads an existing running configuration and finds unsupported commands, it will enter the
Monitor Only mode
.
●
Multiple PDM and CLI sessions
may be in operation at the same time as your PDM session. During normal operation, if unsupported
commands are entered via other
CLI console sessions
or your
CLI tool
, PDM will enter
Monitor Only mode
when you
Refresh
.
●
Monitor Only Mode
Only these functions are available in Monitor Only mode:
The Monitoring tab
●
The CLI tool (
Tools>CLI
)
●
Exiting Monitor Only Mode
Follow these steps to regain access to the all the functions of PDM in normal operation mode:
Use
Tools>CLI
to repair or remove the unsupported command statement(s)
●
Refresh
will reload the repaired configuration
●
Unsupported Parsed Commands Causing Monitor Only Mode
These commands can be parsed, but PDM does not support them in a configuration. If the commands are present in your configuration, PDM will
enter
Monitor Only mode
.
