Preparing for the upgrade

IMPORTANT:

 F5000- firewalls are not shipped with TFTP or FTP server software. Prepare it by yourself.

 Configuration files of different versions may not be compatible. The upgrade can cause

the configuration in the configured files invalid. For information about configuration file

compatibility, see the Release Notes.

Before you upgrade system software, complete the following tasks:

 Set up the upgrade environment as shown in Figure 1 .

 Run a TFTP or FTP server on the file server. (Skip this task if you upgrade the system software from

Web.)

The F5000 firewall functions as the TFTP or FTP client.

 Assign an IP address to the file server to make sure that the firewall and the file server can reach each

other.

 Log in to the CLI of the firewall through the console port. (Skip this task if you upgrade the system

software from Web.)

 Copy the upgrade file to the file server and correctly set the working directory on the TFTP or FTP server.

 Make sure that the upgrade has minimal impact on the network services. During the upgrade, the firewall

cannot provide any services.
