Local Table

The Local section of the Firmware Management & Backup table displays:

• <![CDATA[ ]]>FIRMWARE VERSION - firmware currently loaded on the firewall
• FIRMWARE LOAD DATE - the date and time the firmware was installed on the appliance
• FIRMWARE BUILD DATE - the date and time the firmware was created
• CONFIGURATION DATE - the date and time when the configuration of the appliance was last updated
• USERNAME- the user who installed or updated the firmware
• COMMENTS - an Information icon that, when moused over, displays information about the firmware or backup file. If you did not specify a comment when creating a backup, a default comment is displayed:
  • This is the current firmware
  • This is the local backup
  • Custom comment
• BOOT- clicking the Boot icon displays whether to reboot the firewall with the current or factory default configuration:

Clicking Boot next to any firmware image overwrites the existing current firmware image making it the Current Firmware image.

When uploading firmware to the firewall, you must not interrupt the Web browser by closing the browser, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If the browser is interrupted, the firmware may become corrupted.

• FIRMWARE ACTIONS - displays the Download icon; clicking the icon saves the firmware to a new location on your computer or network. Only uploaded firmware can be saved to a different location
