46.3 Firmware Management

Use the Firmware Management screen to check your current firmware version and upload firmware to
the Zyxel Device. You can upload firmware to be the Running firmware or Standby firmware.
Note: The Web Configurator is the recommended method for uploading firmware. You only
need to use the command line interface if you need to recover the firmware. See the
CLI Reference Guide for how to determine if you need to recover the firmware and
how to recover it.
Find the firmware file in a folder that (usually) uses the system model name with the model code and a
bin extension. For example, a firmware for ZyWALL VPN100 is "430ABFV0b2s1.bin".
The Zyxel Device's firmware package cannot go through the Zyxel Device when you enable the anti-
virus Destroy compressed files that could not be decompressed option. The Zyxel Device classifies the
firmware package as not being able to be decompressed and deletes it. You can upload the firmware
package to the Zyxel Device with the option enabled, so you only need to clear the Destroy
compressed files that could not be decompressed option while you download the firmware package.
See Section 39.2.1 on page 743
decompressed option.
The firmware update can take up to five minutes. Do not turn off or reset
the Zyxel Device while the firmware update is in progress!
If your Zyxel Device has two firmware images installed, and one fails to boot (kernel crash, kernel panic,
out-of-memory etc.), then the Zyxel Device will automatically use the (good) backup image to boot.

46.3.1 Firmware Upload and Device HA Pro

If Device HA Pro is enabled, then both the active and passive Zyxel Device must be online and
connected in order to upload firmware. New firmware is first uploaded to the passive device and then
uploaded to the active device. By default, the passive device reboots after firmware upload making it
