On the Swatches tab, choose a color from the palette, and click OK.

messages, check the Warn to disable redundant syslog messages when NetFlow action is first
applied to the global service policy rule check box.
Step6 After you have specified settings on these three tabs, click OK to save your settings and close the
Preferences dialog box.
Note Each time that you check or uncheck a preferences setting, the change is saved to the .conf file and
becomes available to all the other ASDM sessions running on the workstation at the time. You must
restart ASDM for all changes to take effect.
