Copying PIX Firewall Configurations
To retrieve a configuration from an HTTP server, enter the following command:
configure http[s]://[user:password@]location[:port]/pathname
SSL will be used when https is entered. The user and password options are used for basic authentication
when logging in to the server. The location option is the IP address (or a name that resolves to the IP
address) of the server. The port option specifies the port to contact on the server. It will default to 80 for
HTTP and 443 for HTTPS. The pathname option is the name of the resource that contains the
configuration to retrieve.
Copying a PIX Firewall Image or PDM Software
To copy a PIX Firewall software image or PDM software from an HTTP server, enter the following
command:
copy http[s]://[user:password@]location[:port]/pathname flash[:[image | pdm]]
SSL will be used when https is entered. The user and password options are used for basic authentication
when logging in to the server. The location option is the IP address (or a name that resolves to the IP
address) of the server. The port option specifies the port to contact on the server. It will default to 80 for
HTTP and 443 for HTTPS. The pathname option is the name of the resource that contains the image or
PDM file to copy.
The output of this command is the same as that from the copy tftp command. For an image, the success
and failure responses, respectively, are as follows:
• Image installed
• Image not installed
