configure
Configure from the terminal, Flash memory, the network, or factory default. The new configuration merges with the active configuration except for the factory default, in which case the active configuration is cleared first and then replaced by the factory default. The factory default option is available only on the PIX 501 and PIX 506/506E.
clear configure [terminal | memory]
clear configure [primary | secondary | all]
[no] configure http[s] :// [user:password@] location [ :port ] / http_pathname
configure net [[location]:[filename]]

For the PIX 501 and PIX 506/506E only:
configure factory-default [inside_ip_address [address_mask]]
