Recover PIX506E configuration

[nslarsen]

Hi.

We are running a PIX 506E firewall in our company.

I know that failover on this model isn't an option.

So I bourght another PIX 506E to backup the running one if it should die on me.

I savde the running configuration of the PIX that is running on to my TFTP server.

My question is this:

How to I load this configuration on to the "backup PIX" so that it will be ready to run the day I need it?

The file on my TFTP server that holds the configuration is not a bin file but just a 3kb file.

Kind regards,

Nicolai

Configure the inside interface with an ip address and enable it so it can connect to the tftp server. Then issue a

configure net :

NOTE: You may have to use a different IP address on the inside interface if this done on in a live enviroment to prevent ip address duplication. This can be changed to what you want after you disconnect the firewall from the live enviroment and then issue a "wr mem" to save.
