I cannot find anything on, how to copy back from a TFTP server a (TFTP) saved PIX, CONFIGURATION, file into Flash (not image or pdm).

Any ideas ?

Thanks

use the command " configure net "

You have to define a TFTP Server and the config file name too . See the

I was mislead looking for the answer in "write" and "copy" commands, sinse all other documentations only describe how to backup the configuration !!

Thanks Hermann !

Depending on your image version, you can't (use copy and paste). You can try in 6.2 - Auto Update. "The Auto Update specification allows the Auto Update Server to either push configuration information and send requests for information to the PIX Firewall, or to cause the PIX Firewall to periodically poll the Auto Update Server."

Never used it myself. Hope it helps.
