ASA via sleep deprivation

LearnAsIGo

The other day, for the first time, I was happily configuring away at 'asa1.'

Today, I can't even configure 'nameif' on 'asa1' but I can configure everything on 'asa2'

What happened? I know I'll get a reply that will make me slap my forehead and feel sheepish afterwards.

Maybe this is attributed to trying to get back on the rack after a sleepless night and I'm just too groggy to think. Probably so.

I can't even begin to remember what I did after wr erase/reload....it probably snagged me at those default prompts. I just don't know or I haven't learned - YET.

What follows are configs from 'asa1,' followed by 'asa2.'

As always, much thanks in advance...

could asa 1 be a failover unit?

can you do a "show version" please?

ASA1 appears to be in multiple context mode, if you need to modify the admin context you must use the 'changeto context <contextname>' command, if you want to change it back to single context use the 'mode single' global config mode command.

It worked great, thanks a bunch. I was going crazy over this but now everything seems back to normal.

In a way, this was a good thing to happen to me. Who learns from stuff that never gives ya problems?

thanks again!
