Chapter 5 Managing Security Contexts
Reloading a Security Context
Reloading a Security Context
You can reload the context in two ways:
• Clear the running configuration and then import the startup configuration.
This action clears most attributes associated with the context, such as connections, and NAT tables.
• Remove the context from the system configuration.
This action clears additional attributes, such as memory allocation, which might be useful for
troubleshooting. However, to add the context back to the system requires you to respecify the URL,
VLANs, and class membership.
This section includes the following topics:
• Reloading by Clearing the Configuration, page 5-24
• Reloading by Removing and Re-adding the Context, page 5-24
Reloading by Clearing the Configuration
To reload the context by clearing the context configuration, and reloading the configuration from the
URL, follow these steps:
Step 1 To change to the context that you want to reload, enter the following command:
FWSM# changeto context
name
Step 2 To access configuration mode, enter the following command:
FWSM/
name
# configuration terminal
Step 3 To clear the running configuration, enter the following command:
FWSM/
name
(config)# clear configure all
This command stops the context from running.
Step 4 To reload the configuration, enter the following command:
FWSM/
name
(config)# copy startup-config running-config
The FWSM copies the configuration from the URL specified in the system configuration. You cannot
change the URL from within a context.
Reloading by Removing and Re-adding the Context
To reload the context by removing the context and then re-adding it, follow the steps in the following
sections:
1. “Removing a Security Context” section on page 5-22
2. “Configuring a Security Context” section on page 5-19
