Is there a way to centrally manage different contexts with ASA

[elhannan10]

Hi Guys,

Im failry new with cisco, especially with cisco security.  Just would like to ask if there is a way to centrally manage different context of ASA?

If ever you want to replicate the policy of context1 from site1 to context1 of site2, is there a way to do it?

Thanks in Advance

Hello,

You can use SSH or ASDM to login to the admin context and from there easily switch to other contexts on the same physical firewall.

If you want to be able to centrally switch between contexts on different physical units, or share/replicate policies across multiple contexts or firewalls,  you would need to use Cisco Security Manager (CSM):

Hope that helps.
