Configuring the File to Boot as the Startup Configuration
• tftp://[user[:password]@]server[:port]/[path/]filename
Note The TFTP option is only supported for the ASA.
You can enter up to four boot system command entries to specify different images to boot from in order;
the ASA boots the first image it finds. Only one boot system tftp command can be configured, and it
must be the first one configured.
Note If the ASA is stuck in a cycle of constant booting, you can reboot the ASA into ROMMON mode.
For more information about the ROMMON mode, see the
“Using the ROM Monitor to Load a
Software Image” section on page 82-11 .
To configure the ASDM image to boot, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# asdm image {disk0:/ | disk1:/}[path/]filename
Configuring the File to Boot as the Startup Configuration
By default, the ASA boots from a startup configuration that is a hidden file. You can alternatively set any
configuration to be the startup configuration by entering the following command:
hostname(config)# boot config {disk0:/ | disk1:/}[path/]filename
Deleting Files from a USB Drive on the ASA 5500-X Series
When you delete a file from a USB drive (accessed as disk1:, for example), then the USB is moved to
the other slot (from bottom to top, or top to bottom), and the file reappears. With this type of online
insertion removal, to make sure that the file is actually deleted and no longer appears when you enter the
show disk1: command, enter the following command:
hostname# eject disk1:
