Installing Software Updates

To deploy policies:

1Click Tools > Deploy to synchronize the EncrypTight components with the current policies. Note that this will interrupt traffic on the PEP briefly.

Step 5: Upgrade PEP Software

After you upgrade the ETKMSs and ETPM, you can upgrade the PEPs to a new software version. Using ETEMS, you can download new software from an FTP server to one or many PEPs of the same product family. For example, ETEMS can upgrade a mix of ETEP models, such as ET0010As, ET0100As, and ET1000As, in a single operation.

When upgrading software on ETEP 1.6 and later appliances, you have the option of using FTP or SFTP for secure file transfer. If you choose SFTP as the connection method, all of the selected appliances must support SFTP.

Figure 19 Upgrade remote appliances first when managing appliances in-line, where management traffic flows through the data path

If you are managing your PEPs in-line as shown in Figure 19, we recommend performing a software upgrade in two stages. First, upgrade all the PEPs at remote sites and reboot them. When the remote site PEPs are up and operational, upgrade the local site PEP, which is co-located with the EncrypTight management station. Upgrading the local site PEP at the same time as the remote PEPs can cause connectivity with the management station to be lost and the remote site upgrades to fail.
