Configuring the Application Image and ASDM Image to Boot
• To copy from Flash memory, enter the following command:
hostname# copy {flash:/ | disk0:/ | disk1:/}[path/]filename
{startup-config | running-config}
For example, to copy the configuration from a TFTP server, enter the following command:
hostname# copy tftp://209.165.200.226/configs/startup.cfg startup-config
To copy the configuration from an FTP server, enter the following command:
hostname# copy ftp://admin:letmein@209.165.200.227/configs/startup.cfg startup-config
To copy the configuration from an HTTP server, enter the following command:
hostname# copy http://209.165.200.228/configs/startup.cfg startup-config
Configuring the Application Image and ASDM Image to Boot
By default, the security appliance boots the first application image it finds in internal Flash memory. It
also boots the first ASDM image it finds in internal Flash memory, or of none exists there, then in
external Flash memory. If you have more than one image, you should specify the image you want to boot.
In the case of the ASDM image, if you do not specify the image to boot, even if you have only one image
installed, then the security appliance inserts the asdm image command into the running configuration.
To avoid problems with Auto Update (if configured), and to avoid the image search at each startup, you
should specify the ASDM image you want to boot in the startup configuration.
• To configure the application image to boot, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# boot system url
where url is one of the following:
– {flash:/ | disk0:/ | disk1:/}[path/]filename
The flash:/ keyword represents the internal Flash memory on the PIX 500 series security
appliance. You can enter flash:/ or disk0:/ for the internal Flash memory on the ASA 5500
series adaptive security appliance. The disk1:/ keyword represents the external Flash memory
on the ASA.
– tftp://[user[:password]@]server[:port]/[path/]filename
This option is only supported for the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance.
You can enter up to four boot system command entries, to specify different images to boot from in
order; the security appliance boots the first image it finds. Only one boot system tftp: command can
be configured, and it must be the first one configured.
• To configure the ASDM image to boot, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# asdm image {flash:/ | disk0:/ | disk1:/}[path/]filename
Configuring the File to Boot as the Startup Configuration
By default, the security appliance boots from a startup configuration that is a hidden file. You can
alternatively set any configuration to be the startup configuration by entering the following command:
hostname(config)# boot config {flash:/ | disk0:/ | disk1:/}[path/]filename
