Configuring Auto Update Support
Auto Update is a protocol specification that allows an Auto Update server to download configurations
and software images to many security appliances, and can provide basic monitoring of the security
appliances from a central location.
The security appliance can be configured as either a client or a server. As an Auto Update client, it
periodically polls the Auto Update server for updates to software images and configuration files. As an
Auto Update server, it issues updates for security appliances configured as Auto Update clients.
Note Auto Update is supported in single context mode only.

Configuring Communication with an Auto Update Server
To configure the security appliance as an Auto Update client, perform the following steps:
OL-10088-01
hostname# copy {flash:/ | disk0:/ | disk1:/}[path/]filename {flash:/ | disk0:/ |
disk1:/}[path/]newfilename
Be sure the destination directory exists. If it does not exist, first create the directory using the mkdir
command.
To copy the running configuration to the startup configuration server (connected to the
admin context), enter the following command:
hostname/contexta# copy running-config startup-config
To copy the running configuration to a TFTP server connected to the context network, enter the
following command:
hostname/contexta# copy running-config tftp:/server[/path]/filename
