We need to change the enable, Telnet, and config password on 2 PIX 515s and a 3600 router. Will doing this affect the network in any way? I would assume not since its just the password.

If we have a primary and failover PIX would the below be correct to change the passwords?
1. Telnet into the firewall.
2. Type the command config t
3. # config t
(config)# passwd (your password) to change the console and telnet passwords
5. (config)# enable password (your password) to change the privileged level password.
6. Type write memory to save the configuration
7. type write standby to copy the configuration to the failover unit
Then do the same basic thing on the router also?

HI brandon,
you need not do a write standby everytime you change a configuration on the primary firewall... the write standby will be used only the first time, which will copy the configs on the RAM of the primary to the RAM of the failover... after that, everytime you do a write memory on the primary, the config is automatically replicated on the failover...
hope this helps.. all the best..
