Save PIX506E configuration to file

[Ansky926]

If this has been posted and answered before, forgive me.

I have a Cisco PIX506e firewall. I'm not all that knowledgable in making changes to the firewall and have usually had some help. We recently added a new Exchange 2007 server and some of the configurations were changed.

I can get into the firewall and see the settings, but I can't seem to be able to write the configuration to a text file.

Could someone help me with specific instructions on how I can write the configuration to a file without making accidental changes to the firewall?

an easy way to do it is to use a terminal emulation program such as teraterm. teraterm has a logging feature that will capture all of your keystrokes and characters written to the screen. you'd simply connect to the PIX, turn on the logging feature in teraterm, and do a sh run

If you use telnet via a command prompt, just mark and copy the display when you 'show conf', paste it into Notepad/Word/whatever and you're all set.
