Solved: Isakmp key storage location

misnetwork · ‎10-04-2005

Hi,

I was wondering where PIX stores its isakmp key ? indeed if i do a "sh run" or "sh isakmp key" key is replaced with ******.

Goal is to backup the configuration AND Isakmp keys.

use the "write net" command to backup the config to a tftp server. all the isakmp keys are displayed in clear text from there.
