Renaming context on ASA

[mdc1973]

Has anyone renamed a context on an ASA? Just want to know the easiest way, and any gotchas to be aware of.

If I delete the incorrectly named context, create my new one, allocate the interfaces and point it to the old config-url (ie. the config-url from the incorrect context), would this work?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The best way to rename is to follow the below procedure.
1-Take backup of the present context configuration and assigned interface related configuration from the system context.
2-delete the context
3-create the new context with new name
4- assign the necessary interfaces.
5- restore the old context configuration.

Thanks,

Cool, thanks for the reply.

Just to clarify on step 5, when you say restore the old context configuration, is it just a case of using the old context's config.url?
