Cisco ASA: tunnel-group commands and Connection Profiles

I have to say, it is difficult to learn Cisco products.  I have been hacking away at my new Cisco ASA 5505, and it is not easy. One of the toughest things is that the ASDM displays the configuration one way, but when you look at the config, it is completely different. For example, ASDM shows Connection Profiles, but the actual code uses tunnel-group. Not even close. The documentation has one line out of 46 pages.

You configure connection profiles using tunnel-group commands. In this chapter, the terms “connection profile” and “tunnel group” are often used interchangeably.

Took me quite a while to figure that out. I guess that is why people go to training (and the 5505 is not a consumer product).
