Cisco Security Manager revision control
We are in the process of migrating our network from checkpoint to cisco and I was wondering if there is anything similar on CSM to Checkpoints Revision control where the config can be reversed up if there is a problem with any change?

One nice feature is, when configuring the ASA remotly, the use of the command reload in xx.
This will cause the firewall to reboot in xx minutes. If you make any changes that lock you out, just wait for xx minutes. Then the ASA will reboot and load it's startup config so you can connect again.

Thanks erniebeek, although my experience has been that when a policy is pushed down to the router or firewall the config is written and saved to the device.
As a test I made a small change to the config from the CSM and did a reload in 10 on the router but once reloaded the change was still there.
I am pushing the changes down via "submit and deploy", is there a different way to push the changes down that does not cause it to write the config?

my only concern with the configuration archive is if you submit a config that accidentally denies access you can't get on to recover the configuration whereas with reload in x at least you always knew you could gain access if you made a mistake.
Correct, haven't found a way in CSM to do that yet :-~
Routers
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

When saving configuration changes, what you do is copying the running config to the startup config.
