I think I may have answered my own question. Reading http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_tech_note09186a008072142a.shtml could I clear the running config in a telnet session and _maintain_ connectivity for that session, then issue the interface, tftp and conf net commands if I didn't want it to merge?

Casale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 4:53 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Cisco PIX backup and restore If I run #conf net after configuring the tftp server of course, does the downloaded config get written to running or startup config? I want to know, as it's much easier to build large configs on paper for me anyway, then upload them. I just don't know how the PIX will deal with an error or invalid config, and if I can just reload or cycle the power if it's really bad.
