Configuring a PIX via TFTP - configure net - command doesn't work

[david.richards]

Configuring a PIX via TFTP - the documented method doesn't work. PIX v6.0(1)

Version 6.0 & 6.1 of the doc reference the "configure net" command i.e. configure net 10.1.1.1:/tftp/config/pixconfig

V6.0 doc - http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/pix_60/config/commands.htm#xtocid605013

and

v6.1 doc http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/pix_61/cmd_ref/c.htm

Examples...

pixfirewall# conf net :

usage: configure terminal

pixfirewall(config)# conf net xxx

Invalid tftp-server setting:xxx

It appears that the conf net command is syntax checked, as per the 2nd example, but neither work. Is the command supported?, or is the documentation incorrect?

[rehan]

your comand is ok probably that can be problem of the file path.

or

if the tftp is on outside interface then sufficient permission required

configure net []:[]

it should work

Hi,

just go into enable mode and issue this command:

configure net 10.1.1.1:/backup/config.txt

In this example the ip address of the tftp server is 10.1.1.1 and the configfile config.txt is stored in the folder backup.

Kind Regards,

Tom
