Checking the size of the configuration file

[alalli]

Good Day All,

I am preparing to upgrade a PIX 525 from 5.3 to 6.3 software and am working my way through the release notes.

I would like to check and see the size of my configuration file on a PIX 525 in fail-over mode.

We have a little over 1500 lines in the configuration file and i am curious as to just how big this configuration is.

Does anyone know how to do this?

thanks in advance.

regards

amanda

The command you want to take a look at is 'sh flashfs' and here is what the output you get means:

For a version two filesystem (6.0-6.2)

file 0: pix image

file 1: config

file 2: certificate info

file 3: pdm image

file 4: filesystem record

For a version three filesystem (6.3)

file 0: pix image

file 1: config

file 2: certificate info

file 3: pdm image

file 4: crashdump

file 5: filesystem record

Let me know if you have any other questions.
