After Upgrading to Version 6.0.2

After upgrading to version 6.0.2 of the firmware, 
3Com recommends that you configure the unit as 
follows:

Note:

 This procedure must be performed from a 

machine on the Firewall’s LAN. 

1

Reset admin password to "password". Click the 
general label and then the 

Set Password

 tab to set the 

password. Resetting the password allows you to use 
the new install wizard for initial configuration.

2

Restore factory default settings. Click the 

Tools

 label, 

the 

Configuration

 tab and then the 

Restore

 button.

3

Restart the unit.

4

The unit will display the Firewall Installation Wizard. 
Perform initial configuration.

5

After the unit has restarted, enter any additional 
configuration using the Web interface.

Failure to follow this procedure may result in an 
invalid configuration.

New Features in This Release

Version 6.0.2 provides support for the following:

SuperStack 3 Firewall (3CR16110-95). 

SuperStack 3 Firewall (3CR16110-97)

SuperStack 3 Firewall Web Site Filter (3C16111)

This section lists new features and enhancements 
between firmware version 5.0.7 and firmware version 
6.0.2.

A new Installation Wizard can be used to set up 
the Firewall quickly.

A Group VPN feature for simplified VPN client 
deployment has been added.

A new VPN Routing feature allows easy setup of 
secure traffic in a "hub and spoke" configuration 
between remote offices.

A new High Availability feature eliminates network 
downtime by enabling the use of a backup Firewall 
for failover.

It is now possible to perform one touch VPN client 
configuration file creation using the GroupVPN 
export function.

The Firewall is shipped with 56-bit encryption for 
wider distribution; this can be web-upgraded to 
168-bit.

Changing VPN security associations no longer 
requires a restart.

Enhanced logging of VPN IKE negotiations is now 
available.

TFTP LAN clients behind the Firewall are now 
supported.

Netscape 6.0 can now be used to access the Web 
interface.

To provide compatibility with more ISPs, the PPPoE 
user name and password can contain up to 63 
characters.

IMAP, NetBIOS, and PC Anywhere have been 
added as known services.
