[rancid] Re: rancid with Cisco ASA 5520 in Multiple Context Mode

I have no issues backing up our external perimeter firewalls.  When you
login into an ASA running in multiple context mode you login into the
"admin" context, this context does not include the other context
configurations.  So once you are logged into the "admin" context you run the
"change" or "changeto" commands to switch between the "virtual" firewalls.
Each firewall is separated and there is no global way of backing them up
without running the commands listed above.

The sad thing is I was able to back up everything with kiwi cat:\

login in with ssh

changeto firewall1
terminal pager 0
sh run

changeto firewall2
terminal pager 0
sh run

changeto firewall3
terminal pager 0
sh run
exit

-lo

There isn't a good answer to that.  I don't use my ASA's that way.
What version of ASA software?

Do you attempt to log into each context automatically, or how do you
switch because they way I understand
it is that every context has a different configuration, but there is a
master context from which you can back up
the entire configuration, is this incorrect?
