[c-nsp] Renaming interfaces on a PIX 525

[Steven Pfister]

I think I'm probably going to do this from the command line. Would I be able to have two interfaces marked as outside? Do something like:

int gig1
  nameif outside
  security-level 0
int eth0
  nameif old.outside
  security-level 6
  no ip address
int gig1
  ip address <address from eth0> standby <standby address from eth0>

(after backing up the config, of course...)

Thanks!

Keep a good backup of the config just in case, especially if you're 
talking about trying this with PDM/ASDM.  They don't "rename"/"change" 
very well, they really try to delete/re-add, and the delete part deletes 
all associated configuration references to the original.
