ASA copy tftp run question

Robin Swan

Hello,

I have 2 ASA 5520's.  I had to split them up to migrate over to a new ISP while keeping the old ISP in service temporarily.  I want to join them back together now with the new ISP because we are going to be ending our contract with the old ISP.  However, I also want to upgrade the IOS from 8.2 to the newest IOS.  I know I should copy the new ISP configuration over first.  My question is; Can I copy a configuration using: "copy tftp run" (w/out quotes), on a ASA 5520 just the same as doing it on a switch?  Then make it the boot configuration?  Or is there a different way to copy a configuration over than how it's done on a switch?

 

Thank you in advance.

When you say you want to join them together, do you mean you will configure them in failover? or just use only one ASA and join/merge the configuration from both ASA? If you want to merge the configuration from both ASA into one ASA, copy tftp run command is not a good option as I believe it would overwrite the existing configuration on the ASA with one from TFTP.

But to answer your question, yes you can copy a configuration file from tftp to the running config using that command just like on a switch or a router.
