ASA5505- can I transfer a config

| Hi there | is there anyway to replace and ASA5505 config file with a config.txt or | other format, I have to setup 10 ASA, all the same config except some IPs | and So I m looking for a quick way to do that? | Rob

thanks but looks like all the solutions merging tftp server's cofig file to running-config, how can I replace it totaly?

From that description, use the variant that copies the tftp server's config file to the startup-config. Then reload the box.

Don't use the variant that copies to running-config, that leads to subtle problems.

Rob a écrit :

You can do it via the console or management port :

ciscoasa# configure term ... >>> your configuration file to paste here

This method has the same disadvantage as using "copy ... running-config".

That is, when the existing config on your box has some settings and the config you try to load assumes they are set to default values, the merge of settings will not cure this. The setting remains.

Often the first apparent problem when you try to do this is that the box has all interfaces set to "shutdown" and after the merging of the external config this remains so.

That is why I prefer copying to startup-config and then reloading. Then, you don't have that problem.

Copy to startup config.

You can also just put the config in to a text file, edit it however you need on a per site basis via notepad, copy it to the flash and use the "boot config disk0:/filename.text"

There are many cases where that will not work.

The simplest and most frequent one: you cannot change the internal IP address of an ASA that has dhcpd enabled that way. First the "ip address" command will be rejected because it conflicts with the old dhcp address range, and then the subsequent "dhcpd address" command will be rejected because it conflicts with the as yet unchanged interface address.
