Configuration procedure

This configuration procedure assumes that the PC and the firewall can reach each other.

1. Configure the PC (TFTP server):

{ Enable the TFTP server. (Details not shown.)

{ Configure a TFTP working directory. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure the firewall (TFTP client):

# Examine the storage medium of the firewall for insufficiency or impairment. If no sufficient free

space is available, use the fixdisk command to fix the storage medium or use the

delete/unreserved file-url command to delete unused files. (Details not shown.)

# Download system software image file newest.bin from the PC.

<Sysname> tftp 1.2.1.1 get newest.bin

# Upload a configuration file config.cfg to the TFTP server.

<Sysname> tftp 1.2.1.1 put config.cfg configback.cfg

# Specify newest.bin as the main system software image file for the next startup.

<Sysname> boot-loader file newest.bin main

IMPORTANT:

The system software image file used for the next startup must be saved in the root directory of the

storage medium. If the stora

e medium is partitioned, the file must be saved in the root directory of the

first partition. You can copy or move the file to the required place.

# Reboot the firewall and the software is upgraded.

<Sysname> reboot
