HI
Hi have copy run tftp: from our Server context not system context, is it possible to copy file back from tftp if I want to configure a replacement firewall? this would save me from coping and pasting all lines into Server context and save lots of time.?
Thanks

@benolyndav I don't recall requiring a reboot when I've created a new context in the past booting using an existing configuration.

@benolyndav yes you can create a new context and specify the config-url as a configuration file that is already created and configured.

Hi
So I want to configure a spare firewall in case of any hardware failures so the current server context is mace-svrs.cfg,
so on the spare firewall configure mace-svrs.cfg url and copy tftp to this file in flash ??
thanks

@benolyndav yes, copy from TFTP to disk, then configure the config-url under the context, defining the cfg file. Example:
context MACE-SVRS
allocate-interface GigabitEthernetX
allocate-interface GigabitEthernetX
config-url disk0:/mace-svrs.cfg

@benolyndav On the Spare FW from the system context configure the MACE-SVRS context, define the config-url as above and then allocate the interfaces.

Ah
So copy MACE-SVRS.cfg to tftp from live firewall
then on spare firewall copy MACE-SVRS.cfg to flash and under context config point to config-url disk0:/MACE-SVRS .cfg
does the firewall then need a reload for the config to be present in MACE-SVRS context.???
