ASA5510: where is the startup-config stored?

ttieuropecco · ‎05-28-2008

Hi,

i'm new to cisco's asa and trying to get used to it. it's not a real problem i have, which detains me from productive work but i'm just snoopy about this. on my cisco 871, when i do a

dir nvram:

i see a file called startup-config. but i can not find it on my asa 5510. i have a disk0-1:, flash: and system: but nowhere a startup-config. but it must be somewehre because a

copy tftp startup-config

is working somehow and does what i expect. furthermore, where are the cryptographic keys stored. the same issue. i can not find them. maybe someone of you is able to point me to this. thanks.

ct,

The startup configuration for single mode or for the system in multiple context mode is a hidden file in flash memory. From within a context, the location of the startup configuration is specified by the config-url command. For example, if you specify an HTTP server for the config-url command and then enter the copy startup-config running-config command, the security appliance copies the startup configuration from the HTTP server using the admin context interface.

Also check the details about the commands "copy" and "configure-url" in the links below: 1)COPY--http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa80/command/reference/c4.html#wp2104587

Good day,

I am also curious where a startup-config is being stored.

I try securely download startup-config to windows C:\Temp file, but FW is disconnecting pscp request. When I try to download any file located in disk0:/ I am able to.

Please advice how can I download startup-config with pscp.
Thank you
