Boot image - Best practice on ASA

pascalmarti — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 06:58:15 GMT

Hello,

I have two image asa842-k8.bin and asa825-k8.bin. on my ASA But in the conf, it only have this commande :

boot system disk0:/asa842-k8.bin

Is the best practice to put the two boot image in the running-config or if the image in the running_config is not present and is the onlyone, it find automaticly the other image .bin ?

Thanks,

Pascal

The ASA will use the 1st

The ASA will use the 1st Valid image to boot from if you have no bootvar configured. If you have a bootvar configured the ASA will use that image to boot. I would say the best is to hard code your boot variable in the startup-config. So that you force the boot from the Image you want.

Thanks ;-)
