You can use the CLI, BootWare menus, or Web interface to upgrade software. This chapter describes
how to upgrade software from the CLI and the Web interface.
The following matrix shows the storage media available on different firewalls and firewall modules:

20-Gbps VPN firewall modules cfa0
All examples in this chapter use the storage medium cfa0.
Overview
Upgrading software includes upgrading the BootWare (called "bootrom" in CLI) and system software.
Each time the device is powered on, it runs the BootWare image to initialize hardware and display
hardware information and then runs the system software image (called the "boot file" in software code)
so you can access the software features, as shown in Figure 12.
