Upgrade Using Boot Loader - Infinity Check Point L-71WD Administration Manual

Upgrade Using Boot Loader

To upgrade the Check Point Appliance using U-boot (boot loader):
Note - In 1470/1490 appliances only, Bootloader is supported only through the DMZ port and is not
available through the LAN ports.
1. Connect to the appliance with a console connection (use the serial console connection on the
back panel of the appliance), boot the appliance and press Ctrl+C. The Gaia Embedded Boot
Menu is shown.
2. Press 5 to select Install/Update Image/Boot-Loader from Network.
3. You are asked if you want to manually load the image from a TFTP server, or if you want to use
automatic mode with a bootp server.
•
If you select manual mode, you are asked to enter the internal IP of the Check Point
Appliance, the IP of the TFTP server, and the image name.
•
If you select automatic mode, the procedure starts automatically to search for the bootp
server.
4. While in menu mode, press Ctrl+C again to return to the Boot Loader menu.
During the upgrade, all LAN Link and Activity LEDs blink orange and green alternately to indicate
progress. This takes up to a minute.
When you successfully complete the upgrade, all LAN Link and Activity LEDs light in green, and
the appliance waits for you to press a key or to manually reboot (pull the power cable out and put
it back in). Error in the upgrade process is indicated by all LAN Link and Activity LEDs blinking red.
