and
Null (in any combination of upper- and lower-case letters) are
reserved, and cannot be used.
Note While context names are case-sensitive on the device, they are
not in Security Manager. That is, you cannot have two contexts
with the same name but different capitalization in Security
Manager.
Mode (FWSM 3.1+) Choose the mode, Router or Transparent, for this security context.

Context dialog box.
Admin Context Check this box if this context is to be the Admin context for this device.
Note The name of the Admin context for the device is displayed
below the Security Contexts table.
VLAN IDs Enter the VLANs assigned to this context. Use commas to separate
multiple VLAN entries.
Config URL Specify the context configuration location, as a URL-type address, by
choosing a file-system protocol and then entering the path and name of
the file to access for the context configuration.
That is, choose a protocol type from the drop-down list, and then type
the server name (for remote file systems), path, and file name in the
related text field. For example, the combined URL for FTP has the
following format:
ftp://server.example.com/configs/admin.cfg.
Available protocols are:
• disk:/
• ftp://
• http://
• https://
• tftp://
