Rename ASA Security Context

johnlloyd_13 — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 17:10:12 GMT

hi,

i would need to re-name an existing ASA context since there's no "edit" feature.

can someone confirm i just do a "no" on the old context name and point the "new" context to the same config url?

changeto system

no context OLD-CONTEXT
context NEW-CONTEXT
allocate-interface GigabitEthernet0/0
allocate-interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1
config-url disk0:/OLD-CONTEXT.cfg

I just tested on ASA box the config you mentioned.

no context OLD-CONTEXT this will delete the context

context NEW-CONTEXT
allocate-interface GigabitEthernet0/0
allocate-interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1
config-url disk0:/OLD-CONTEXT.cfg give this command will reterive the config from the flash means what ever was in old context will use in new context.

==========================

prior to this i created the context name OLD-CONTEXT in ASA

context OLD-CONTEXT

allocate-interface eth1
allocate-interface eth0

CONfig-url disk0:OLD-CONTEXT.cfg

show context
Context Name Class Interfaces Mode URL
*admin default Routed disk0:/admin.cfg
OLD-CONTEXT default Ethernet0,Ethernet1 Routed disk0:/OLD-CONTEXT.cfg

creating the new context

no context OLD-CONTEXT

context NEW-CONTEXT

allocate-interface eth0
allocate-interface eth1

config-url disk0:/OLD-CONTEXT.cfg

changeto context NEW-CONTEXT

!
hostname OLD-CONTEXT (As the config are read from the flash they will show up as old hostname, you can change the old hostname to newhost name.)

interface Ethernet0
nameif outside
security-level 0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface Ethernet1
nameif inside
security-level 100
ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
