1)  ftp mode passive - this command accept only on single context but I need to run on multicontext..

2)  sysopt np completion-unit

1) "ftp mode passive" command is used to upload or download image/configuration file to and from the FWSM towards FTP server. If you need to run it on multicontext mode, since it's uploading/downloading off the FWSM, not FTP through FWSM, you can only configure it on the"admin context", not user context.

2) there are commands within FWSM which is specific to fwsm because FWSM processed connections in hardware. Anything that has keyword "np" is only supported on FWSM, not on ASA. NP is the Network processor and this is only FWSM specific. ASA does not have NP.

Vice versa, there are commands that is only supported on ASA and not supported on FWSM.

Here is more information on "sysopt np completion-unit" for your reference:
