I recently backed up our current PIX config to our TFTP server. We're getting a second internet connection and as such, we ordered the same PIX device as the one in production. So, what we want to do is make the necessary IP changes in the backed up config for the new PIX, and then copy it over to the new device. How can we do this?

If it's running PIX 6.x software or earlier, you have to do it the old-fashioned way: copy and paste. PIX 6.x and earlier will let you
write net
to copy to TFTP, but thecopy
command has no way to pull it back in from TFTP. You'll need to copy and paste the configuration into a console, telnet, or SSH session.If it's a 515 or higher running 7.x or 8.x, you can use the
copy
command as you would with IOS:Then reboot the PIX for it to load the saved config.
