Upgrading Pix 515

sxiong001 — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 08:50:50 GMT

I'm want to upgrade my pix firewall 515 from 6.1 to 6.3. I'm wondering if the config would stay intact or will that all be lost? and also if i copy config, could i just put that back if it gets changed?

sorry, i'm new o this. thank you ahead of time.

Your config should stay fine. However as a good practice I like to make a copy of the config, activation key and old OS just in case. Better safe than sorry.

Hope that helps.

For backing up the config

write net: [[server_ip]:[filename]]

for copying the licence key:

type Show version and copy it to notepad the portion that says:

Running Activation Key: 0x...... This is your licence key

so it will be like:

write net [tftpserver1:configfor6_1]

also how do you save old o/s?
