Hi,<br />
I have 2 ISP's and 2 seperate routers. &nbsp;I have one PIX 515e which can only use one ISP at a time. &nbsp;In the event of 1 ISP going down I want to switch the config of the PIX to use the second ISP details.<br />
Currently I have a text file with the IP address, route statements etc which relate to each ISP and if one ISP goes down I telnet to the PIX, log in manually and paste the config changes myself. &nbsp;Then when the primary ISp comes back up I reload the PIX and the original config is restored.<br />
<br />
I'd like a script that I can run which logs in to the PIX and executes these changes.<br />
<br />
I'm no script writer so need a link to a good tutorial or an example of an already written script.<br />
I'm in a hurry so 500 points here.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Anyone know how to script config changes to PIX firewalls?

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
