Chapter 5 Adding and Managing Security Contexts

Reloading a Security Context

You can reload the context in two ways:

• Clear the running configuration and then import the startup configuration.

This action clears most attributes associated with the context, such as connections and NAT tables.

• Remove the context from the system configuration.

This action clears additional attributes, such as memory allocation, which might be useful for

troubleshooting. However, to add the context back to the system requires you to respecify the URL

and interfaces.

This section includes the following topics:

• Reloading by Clearing the Configuration, page 5-7

• Reloading by Removing and Re-adding the Context, page 5-7

Reloading by Clearing the Configuration

To reload the context by clearing the context configuration, and reloading the configuration from the

URL, perform the following steps:

Step 1 To change to the context that you want to reload, enter the following command:

hostname# changeto context

name

Step 2 To access configuration mode, enter the following command:

hostname/

name

# configure terminal

Step 3 To clear the running configuration, enter the following command:

hostname/

name

(config)# clear configure all

This command clears all connections.

Step 4 To reload the configuration, enter the following command:

hostname/

name

(config)# copy startup-config running-config

The security appliance copies the configuration from the URL specified in the system configuration. You

cannot change the URL from within a context.

Reloading by Removing and Re-adding the Context

To reload the context by removing the context and then re-adding it, perform the steps in the following

sections:

1. “Removing a Security Context” section on page 5-5

2. “Configuring a Security Context” section on page 5-1
