This document describes the different options for performing a firmware update for a LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall.
After a firmware upgrade to a new major release version (e.g. 10.4 to 10.5) the Admin Password for the webinterface as well as the Support Password for the CLI are reset and have to be set anew. The new Admin Password must not be the same as the old one, whereas the new Support Password can be the same as the old one.
To successfully carry out an online firmware update, it must be ensured that the Internet connection used provides at least a download bandwidth of 1MBit/s.
- Online firmware update via the web configuration interface:
- Open the dialog.
- If the Unified Firewall has already found a new update via its automatic search mechanism (see Settings tab), this is displayed in the list and can be carried out by clicking on the Install button.
- Manual firmware update via '*.iso' firmware file:
The implementation of a manual firmware update via *.iso configuration file is described in this Knowledge Base article.
Important:
Please note that with this update variant, the licensing of your Unified Firewall is first deleted after the transfer of new firmware and backup file. The device is then back in the 30-day test period!
To license the device again, you must import the license file that you received when you registered your license into the device again. For further information regarding this topic see chapter License.
