[rancid] Help on backing up Cisco ASA / ACE with Multiple Contexts!!

[Sreekanth K]

Dear All,

Has any one succeeded in backing up Cisco ASA / ACE with Multiple Contexts.

When i try to do the same I am able to backup only the Admin Context. Any
idea how to backup other contexts ?

Best Regards

easiest if all the contexts have their own IP: you can backup then each
context separately.

True.. But Unfortunate that I cannot do that due to organisation policy
restrictions :(

Hi all,

I have a similar problem. I'd (still) like to backup various contexts of my
firewall service modules (FWSM) and I too can only access the admin
context...

so long

That's the approach I take. Usually we need to monitor each context so
our management station needs to reach each context directly anyway. So
rancid just ssh to each context individually and treat them as separate
devices.

As do I
.though I modified the script to also look for FT (fault tolerance) changes so I know if a failover occurred. This has already notified me a two pretty large bugs in the ACE code.

would you mind sharing your FT changes? I for one would be interested in
those.

thanks

Michael,
I did this a while ago so I apologize it if isn't the cleanest but here is the file I use for the ace contexts. All I care about is the configuration changes and the ft status. This tells me the last time a failover occurred via the "show ft group detail" command.
