96CHAPTER 6: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Software Updates It is important to keep your 3Com Email Firewall software updated with the latest patches and upgrades. A key aspect of good security is responding quickly to new attacks and exposures by updating the system software when updates are available.
Software updates can be delivered or retrieved using a variety of methods, including email, FTP, or from 3Com’s support servers. The Security Connection, if enabled, will download any patches automatically and notify you when they are available.
The Update Software screen shows updates that are Available Updates (loaded onto the 3Com Email Firewall, but not applied) and Installed Updates (applied and active.) You can install an available update, or uninstall a previously installed update.
Select System Config
Uploading a Software When these software update files are downloaded to your local system, Update they can be installed by clicking Browse in the Upload a Software Update
section, navigating to the downloaded file, and then clicking Next.
The update will now appear in the Available Updates (not installed) section. Click on the update you want to apply, then click Install. After applying any updates, you must restart the system.
