Cisco ASA Series CLI Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Managing Software and Configurations
Command Purpose
Step 1
more system:running-config
Example:
master# more system:running-config
(If there is a configuration migration) Back up your configuration
file. Copy the output from this command, then paste the
configuration in to a text file.
For other methods of backing up, see the configuration guide.
Step 2
cluster exec copy /noconfirm
tftp://server[/path]/asa_image_name
{disk0:/ | disk1:/}[path/]asa_image_name
Example:
master# cluster exec copy /noconfirm
tftp://10.1.1.1/asa901-smp-k9.bin
disk0:/asa901-smp-k9.bin
Copies the ASA software to all units in the cluster. For other
methods than TFTP, see the copy command.
Step 3
cluster exec copy /noconfirm
tftp://server[/path]/asdm_image_name
{disk0:/ | disk1:/}[path/]asdm_image_name
Example:
master# cluster exec copy /noconfirm
tftp://10.1.1.1/asdm-701.bin
disk0:/asdm-701.bin
Copies the ASDM image to all units in the cluster.
Step 4
configure terminal
Example:
master(config)# configure terminal
If you are not already in global configuration mode, accesses
global configuration mode.
Step 5
show running-config boot system
Example:
hostname(config)# show running-config boot
system
boot system disk0:/cdisk.bin
boot system disk0:/asa841-smp-k9.bin
Shows the current boot images configured (up to 4). The ASA
uses the images in the order listed; if the first image is
unavailable, the next image is used, and so on. You cannot insert
a new image URL at the top of the list; to specify the new image
to be first, you must remove any existing entries, and enter the
image URLs in the order desired, according to the following steps.
Step 6
no boot system {disk0:/ |
disk1:/}[path/]asa_image_name
Example:
hostname(config)# no boot system
disk0:/cdisk.bin
hostname(config)# no boot system
disk0:/asa841-smp-k9.bin
Removes any existing boot image configurations so you can enter
the new boot image as your first choice.
Step 7
boot system {disk0:/ |
disk1:/}[path/]asa_image_name
Example:
hostname(config)# boot system
disk0://asa901-smp-k9.bin
Sets the ASA image to boot that you just uploaded.
Repeat this command for any backup images you want to use in
case this image is unavailable. For example, you can re-enter the
images you previously removed in Step 6.
