2.1.7. The Console Boot Menu

Apart from the individual files, the objects types listed are:
HTTPALGBanners/ - The banner files for user authentication HTML. Uploading these is
described further in Section 6.3.4.4, "Customizing HTML Pages".
HTTPAuthBanner/ - The banner files for HTML ALG dynamic content filtering. Uploading
these is described further in Section 6.3.4.4, "Customizing HTML Pages".
certificate/ - The object type for all digital certificates.
script/ - The object type for all CLI scripts. Scripts are described further in Section 2.1.5, "CLI
Scripts".
sshclientkey/ - The SSH client key object type.
Examples of Uploading and Downloading
In some cases, a file is located in the NetDefendOS root. The license file (license.lic) falls into this
category, as well as backup files for configurations (config.bak) and the complete system (full.bak).
When uploading, these files contain a unique header which identifies what they are. NetDefendOS
checks this header and ensures the file is stored only in the root (all files do not have a header).
If an administrator username is admin1 and the IP address of the NetDefend Firewall is 10.5.62.11
then to upload a configuration backup, the SCP command would be:
> scp config.bak admin1@10.5.62.11:
To download a configuration backup to the current local directory, the command would be:
> scp admin1@10.5.62.11:config.bak ./
To upload a file to an object type under the root, the command is slightly different. If we have a
local CLI script file called my_script.sgs then the upload command would be:
> scp my_script.sgs admin1@10.5.62.11:script/
If we have the same CLI script file called my_scripts.sgs stored on the NetDefend Firewall then the
download command would be:
> scp admin1@10.5.62.11:script/my_script.sgs ./
Activating Uploads
Like all configuration changes, SCP uploads only become active after the CLI commands activate
have been issued and this must be followed by commit to make the change permanent.
Uploads of firmware upgrades (packaged in .upg files) or a full system backup (full.bak) are the
exception. Both of these file types will result in an automatic system reboot. The other exception is
for script uploads which do not affect the configuration.
2.1.7. The Console Boot Menu
The NetDefendOS loader is the base software on top of which NetDefendOS runs and the
administrator's direct interface to this is called the console boot menu (also known simply as the
boot menu). This section discusses the boot menu options.
