Flash upgrade
Periodically, CyberGuard may release new versions of firmware for your CyberGuard SG appliance. If a new version fixes an issue you’ve been experiencing, or a new feature you wish to utilize, contact CyberGuard SG technical support for information on obtaining the latest firmware. You can then load the new firmware with a flash upgrade.
Note
Please read the appendix entitled Firmware Upgrade Practices and Precautions before attempting a firmware upgrade.
There are two methods available for performing a flash upgrade.
The first is to download the netflash.exe for the appropriate model and version to which you will be upgrading. This is a Windows program that automates the upgrade procedure. Be sure to read the release notes before attempting the upgrade.
The second is to download the binary image file (.bin). This can then be transferred from a PC on the local network into the CyberGuard SG appliance’s flash memory by way of a TFTP server. This method involves the following steps:
1.Download the appropriate .bin file.
2.Start up a TFTP server. Windows users can download a TFTP server program from: https://www.cyberguard.com/snapgear/downloads/tools/tftpd32j.zip
Note
Although we recommend it, this program is not supported by CyberGuard.
