Managing Software Files
AUS enables you to manage six types of files: PIX security appliance software images, ASA software images, PDM images, ASDM images, ASA configuration files, and PIX security appliance configuration files.
You can add PIX security appliance software images, ASA software images, ASDM images, and PDM images, view PIX security appliance and ASA configuration files, and delete all six types of files.
ASA devices must be bootstrapped with the asdm image and boot system commands to manage ASDM and ASA software images using AUS. For more information, see Configuring the Software Image and ASDM Image to Boot, page D-4.
These topics will help you use AUS to manage the various types of files:
