Chapter 5 Software Maintenance

The security gateway contains three types of files:
Boot ROM program files
Application program files
Configuration files
Software maintenance mainly involves upgrading/downloading Boot ROM/application
program files and uploading/downloading configuration files.
Caution:
Because Flash memory has fixed space, you are recommended to use the options in
Boot menu to upgrade the software of a security gateway. If you choose to upload files,
you need to upload system files and http.zip files separately instead of uploading the
whole file. You can detach the http.zip files by using the detach command.

5.1 Boot Menu

This section introduces the Boot menu that you use in maintaining the software of the
security gateway.
Set up a configuration environment (see Figure 4-1) and then boot the security gateway.
Press <Ctrl+B> when the system prompts "Press Ctrl-B to enter Boot Menu". Then the
system displays:
Please
Caution:
Press <Ctrl+B> within three seconds after the prompt "Press Ctrl-B to Enter Boot
Menu..." appears to access the Boot Menu. Otherwise, the system starts
decompressing the program.
If you want to access the Boot menu after the system starts decompressing the
program, you need to reboot the security gateway.
