Uploading a New SRA SSL VPN Image

Note: SonicWALL SRA 4200/1200 appliances do not support downgrading an image and using the configuration settings file from a higher version. If you are downgrading to a previous version of a SRA SSL VPN image, you must select Uploaded Firmware with Factory Defaults – New! You can then import a settings file saved from the previous version or reconfigure manually.

1.Download the SRA SSL VPN image file from www.mysonicwall.com and save it to a location on your local computer.

2.Select Upload New Firmware from the System > Settings page. Browse to the location where you saved the SRA SSL VPN image file, select the file, and click the Upload button. The upload process can take up to one minute.

On a SonicWALL SRA 4200/1200, you are ready to reboot your appliance with the new SRA SSL VPN image.

1.To reboot the image with current preferences, click the boot icon for the following entry:

Note: Be sure to save a backup of your current configuration settings to your local machine before rebooting the SonicWALL SSL VPN appliance with factory default settings, as described in the previous “Saving a Backup Copy of Your Configuration Settings” section.
