Multiple configurations

[horus42]

I'm trying familiarize myself with the new code (7.2) and every document I checked seems to refer to this new way of rolling back and managing storage of multiple configurations and software images in flash memory but I have yet to come accross one that shows me how to use this feature. I'm happy with the multiple images but just needed to know how this works with multiple configurations

I wonder if you are referring to the ability to run your firewall in multiple context mode. This allows each context as a completely seperate security policy from the other contexts.

Refer to the following to get multiple contexts up and running:

This is what Cisco says but I just cannot find any examples that show how to configure it.

"Storage of Multiple Configurations in Flash Memory

This release debuts a new flash file system on Version 7.0(1) enabling administrators to store multiple configurations on the security appliance. This provides the ability to do configuration roll-back in the event of a mis-configuration. Commands are introduced to manage files on this new file system".
