Flashing the firmware/rescue procedure
The entire firmware of the mGuard should be reloaded on the device.
–
All configured settings are deleted. The mGuard is set to the delivery state.
–
In Version 5.0.0 or later of the mGuard, the licenses installed on the mGuard are re-
tained after flashing the firmware. Therefore, they do not have to be installed again.
The administrator and root password have been lost.
Requirements for flashing
NOTE: To flash the firmware, a DHCP and TFTP server or a BootP and TFTP server must
be installed on the locally connected computer.
Install the DHCP and TFTP server, if necessary (see "Installing the DHCP and TFTP serv-
er" on page 258).
NOTE: Installing a second DHCP server in a network could affect the configuration of the
entire network.
–
If the mGuard is operated in Power-over-PCI mode, the DHCP/TFTP server must be
connected via the LAN socket of the mGuard.
–
If the mGuard is operated in PCI Driver mode, the DHCP/TFTP server must be oper-
ated on the computer or operating system that the interface provides for the mGuard.
