Good Morning, Over the weekend, Cisco implemented a new TAC software download feature -- adding multiple things to a cart/basket so that they can all be downloaded at once. This is an excellent idea. It's been needed for a long time. However, the additional piece that was implemented was Cisco's Download Manager. One of the first things it has you do, is select a location to place the downloaded software. I use a UNIX file system. I told it to put the file IPS-sig-S433-req-E3.pkg in my Downloads directory. When I went to upload it to the IPS, the file wasn't there. The Download Manager had created a file called "Downloads\IPS-sig-S433-req-E3.pkg" in my Home directory. Please note the "\" slash character in the filename; this is a windows slash and is "just another character" to UNIX.
They have the same kind of problem when you use ASDM's "Backup configurations" tool with an ASA firewall. I filed a TAC case about it, and there was already a bug filed against it (CSCsy52784). It's supposedly fixed in ASDM 6.2, but I haven't tried it yet. -- Mike Iglesias Email: iglesias () uci edu University of California, Irvine phone: 949-824-6926 Office of Information Technology FAX: 949-824-2270
