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.
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.
–
A monitor and a keyboard are connected to the device.
–
The mGuard firmware has been obtained from the Support team of your dealer or from
www.innominate.com
–
If your current firmware version is newer than the version by default upon delivery, a li-
cense must be obtained for using this update. This applies to major release upgrades,
e.g., from Version 4.x.y to Version 5.x.y to Version 6.x.y, etc.
–
DHCP and TFTP servers can be accessed under the same IP address.
To flash the firmware or to perform the rescue procedure, proceed as follows:
NOTE: Do not interrupt the power supply to the mGuard during any stage of the flashing
procedure. Otherwise, the device could be damaged and may have to be reactivated by
the manufacturer.
1.
