Upgrading a security gateway’s firmware
Use the Upgrade Firmware button for upgrading the firmware of a specific security gateway.
Before upgrading firmware from the VPNmanager, you must download the latest firmware from
Avaya Inc.
The security gateway firmware download is password-protected. Contact technical support at
vpnsupport@avaya.com to request a password prior to beginning the download.
Read the latest security gateway product readme file, before beginning the upgrade. For the
latest version of the file for all security gateways, go the VPN and Security page from the Avaya
Support Technical Database Web site, at http://support.avaya.com, and select the security
gateway type to be downloaded, follow the links to the Readme file.
Note:
Note:
Because the upgrade procedure removes the security gateway from service,
firmware upgrades should be a scheduled maintenance activity.

page at http://support.avaya.com, click VPN and Security and select the appropriate
security gateway type to download.

begin the download process.
