The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Trying to TFTP a config file to and from a Cisco PIX-506E

Asked by arrowtech in Cisco PIX Firewall, Networking Hardware Firewalls

Tags: , , , ,

I have zero Cisco skills, but need to move a PIX to a new internet connection.

I have the enable password, and have been researching trying to use TFTP to copy the config file back and forth, but I am not having any luck.

The details of the PIX are:

-------------------------------------
Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(4)
Cisco PIX Device Manager Version 3.0(2)

Compiled on Fri 02-Jul-04 00:07 by morlee

pci-syd-pix up 61 days 0 hours

Hardware:   PIX-506E, 32 MB RAM, CPU Pentium II 300 MHz
Flash E28F640J3 @ 0x300, 8MB
BIOS Flash AM29F400B @ 0xfffd8000, 32KB

0: ethernet0: address is xxxxxxxxxxx, irq 10

This PIX has a Restricted (R) license.
------------------------------

I have been reading articles like this one:

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Networking_Hardware/Firewalls/Q_22807604.html

That indicate that I should just issue "copy run tftp" and will then get prompted for the details of TFTP server, but this is not working for me:

-----------------------------------------------
pci-syd-pix# copy run tftp
Usage:  copy capture:<capture-name> tftp://<location>/<pathname> [pcap]
        copy http[s]://[<user>:<password>@]<location>[:<port>]/<pathname>
                flash[:[image | pdm]]
        copy tftp[:[[//location][/pathname]]] flash[:[image | pdm]]
pci-syd-pix#
-----------------------------------------------
pci-syd-pix# copy run tftp://192.168.1.1/test.txt
Usage:  copy capture:<capture-name> tftp://<location>/<pathname> [pcap]
        copy http[s]://[<user>:<password>@]<location>[:<port>]/<pathname>
                flash[:[image | pdm]]
        copy tftp[:[[//location][/pathname]]] flash[:[image | pdm]]
pci-syd-pix#
------------------------------------------------

Obviouslly by the fact I am getting the Usage prompt I am getting something wrong in the command, but I can't work out what.

I assume once I have worked out how to copy the running config to the TFTP server, I can then make the changes I need and copy the revised config back to the PIX by just reversing the commands?Start Free Trial
