Step 8 Copy the new context configuration files over the old ones. For example, if your contexts are on an FTP
server, copy over the existing files (making backups as desired) using FTP. If your contexts are in flash
memory, you can use the copy command and run a TFTP or FTP server on your PC, or use secure copy.
See the
“Downloading a File to a Specific Location” section on page 81-3 . This change only affects the
startup configuration; the running configuration is still using the old context configuration.
Step 9 At the ASA system CLI prompt, perform the following steps depending on your connection (console or
remote).
• Console connection:
a. Copy the entire new system configuration to the clipboard, including the altered interface
section.
b. Clear the running configuration (both system and contexts) by entering:
hostname(config)# clear configure all
Traffic through the ASA stops at this point.
c. Paste in the new system configuration at the prompt.
All of the new context configurations now reload. When they are finished reloading, traffic
through the ASA resumes.
• Remote connection:
a. Save the new system configuration to a TFTP or FTP server, so you can copy it to the startup
configuration on the ASA. For example, you can run a TFTP or FTP server on your PC.
b. Clear the startup configuration by entering:
hostname(config)# write erase
c. Copy the new system configuration to the startup configuration by entering:
hostname(config)# copy url startup-config
See the “Downloading a File to a Specific Location” section on page 81-3
d. Reload the ASA using the reload command. Do not save the running configuration.
Step 10 Reenable failover by entering the failover command.
