restoring a running-config

[admin_2]

Hell-o,

I have copied our PIX515 running-config file to our tftp server on my pc for safe keeping. I wanted to add remark statements to the configuration file with notepad or wordpad and then copy it back to the PIX515. I cannot find anywhere how I would copy this modified config file back to PIX.. hope you can help.

TIA

To tftp the config to your PIX: "configure net 10.1.1.1:/tftp/config/pixconfig".

Use the config command (http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/pix_62/cmdref/c.htm#xtocid7).

Hope it helps.

Hi Steve,

Followed the command line you gave and saw that this is the commmand in the documentation. Problem is, is just does not work. Perhaps there is something I need to do before I enter this command? Here is what I am entering it at the config# prompt.

configure net

:/tftp/config/

Hope you can advise as I am at a loss.

TIA,

Can you specify what happens when it doesn't work? Also, you can try it in combination with the tftp-server command, as per the doc posted before.

Steve,

It worked with config net :/PIX_newconfig. However it only worked for changing commands but not for adding comments. Perhaps it is the way I am added comments? I am adding comments to the config file as follows;
