Saving And Loading Restore Configurations - Cisco 750 Getting Started Manual

Saving and Loading Restore Configurations

You can use the restore utility to save a restore configuration to use if you need to restore a Firepower device again.
Although the restore utility automatically saves the last configuration used, you can save multiple configurations,
which include:

network information about the management interface on the appliance; see
Management Interface, page 18

the location of the restore ISO image, as well as the transport protocol and any credentials the appliance needs
to download the file; see

the system software and intrusion rules updates, if any, that you want to apply after the appliance is restored
to the base version in the ISO image; see
page 20
SCP passwords are not saved. If the configuration specifies that the utility must use SCP to transfer ISO and other
files to the appliance, you will have to re-authenticate to the server to complete the restore process.
The best time to save a restore configuration is after you provide the information listed above, but before you
download and mount the ISO image.
To save a restore configuration:
1. From the restore utility main menu, select
The utility displays the settings in the configuration you are saving.
2. When prompted, confirm that you want to save the configuration.
3. When prompted, enter a name for the configuration.
