BootWare program file
The BootWare program file on a SecBlade SSL VPN card is used for booting application files and is
saved on the Flash of the SecBlade SSL VPN card.
The entire BootWare program file contains a basic segment and an extended segment.
l The basic segment is used for the basic initialization of the SecBlade SSL VPN card. After the
basic initialization, the network interfaces and the CF card are still unavailable.
l After the SecBlade SSL VPN card runs the extended segment, the network interfaces and the CF
card if is exist are available. The extended segment provides diversified human-computer
interaction (HCI) functions to upgrade the applications and the boot system.
l After the basic segment is booted, the extended segment can be upgraded on the menu of the
basic segment.
Application files
Currently, the application files on a SecBlade SSL VPN card usually refer to the boot files. A boot file
is an application file used to boot the SecBlade SSL VPN card. By default, a SecBlade SSL VPN card
defines three application files for boot.
l Main application file (main file for short): The default name is main.bin and the file type is M. It is
the default application file used for the SecBlade SSL VPN card boot.
l Backup application file (backup file for short): The default file name is backup.bin and the file type
is B. When booting with the main application file fails, the SecBlade SSL VPN card uses the
backup application file to boot.
l Secure application file (secure file for short): The file name is secure.bin and the file type is S.
When booting with the main and backup application files fails, the SecBlade SSL VPN card uses
the secure application file to boot. When booting with the secure application file fails, boot failure
will be prompted.
These three types of files are stored on the flash memory by default.
If you have loaded the three application files into the flash memory, the SecBlade SSL VPN card will
boot using these three files in sequence. To change the sequence or a file type, refer to “Maintaining
Files” on page 42.
Note that:
l The application files for booting the SecBlade SSL VPN card can be type M, B, and S, but not
type N/A (type other than M, B, or S).
l You can modify the name of application files using the rename command after the SecBlade SSL
VPN card boots. If you changed the name of the secure application file, there is no secure
application file on the flash memory and you need to download a secure application file to the
flash memory again.
l You can modify the type of application files of type M, B or N/A except type S on the BootWare
menu, or at the CLI after the SecBlade SSL VPN card boots.
l The secure application file is the last resort for the SecBlade SSL VPN card boot. You cannot
change the type of the secure application file, or change other types of files to the secure
application file. You can only download it using the BootWare menu.
l There is only one application file of the same type (M, B, or S) on the CF card.
