Trying to copy running to startup config on PIX
I am trying to copy running config to startup config on a PIX.
I am typing
pixfirewall# copy running-config startup-config
And getting this back. Is my syntax wrong again?
Usage: copy capture:<capture-name> tftp://<location>/<pathname> [pcap]
copy http[s]://[<user>:<passwor
flash[:[image | pdm]]
copy tftp[:[[//location][/pathn
pixfirewall#

Write mem does work. Does that essentially do the same as copy running-config startup-config?
exactly the same - on old router configs using old IOS's this command works, even in some new routers the old commands still work, but for some reason they kept it on the PIX IOS onstead of the "copy run start" that most Cisco-ites are used to these days
another command to write down is
write net <ip address>:run
to back up to a TFTP server (use 3C deamon to back up all your configs using this command, then you can restore the firewall in seconds if it goes down :)
And thanQ
