Configuration 4.18 Automatic Update Configuration
4.18 Automatic Update Configuration
Use the Automatic Update menu to configure the automatic update settings. The router can
be configured to automatically check for firmware and configuration updates from a HTTP(S)
or FTP(S) server. IPv6 sites/servers are supported. Used protocol is specified by an address
in
Base URL field: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or FTPS. To prevent possible unwanted manipulation
of the files, the router verifies that the downloaded file is in the tar.gz format. At first, the format
of the downloaded file is checked. Then the type of architecture and each file in the archive
(tar.gz file) is checked.
If the Enable automatic update of configuration option is selected, the router will check if
there is a configuration file on the remote server, and if the configuration in the file is different
than its current configuration, it will update its configuration to the new settings and reboot.
If the Enable automatic update of firmware option is checked, the router will look for a new
firmware file and update its firmware if necessary.
Item Description
Base URL Base URL, IPv4 or IPv6 address from which the configuration file will
be downloaded. This option also specifies the communication protocol
(HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or FTPS (only implicit mode is supported)), see
examples below.
Unit ID Name of configuration (name of the file without extension). If the Unit
ID is not filled, the MAC address of the router is used as the filename
(the delimiter colon is used instead of a dot.)
Update Hour Use this item to set the hour (range 1-24) when the automatic update
will be performed every day. If the time is not specified, automatic up-
date is performed five minutes after turning on the router and then
every 24 hours. If the detected configuration file is different from the
running one, it is downloaded and the router is restarted automatically.

only in case the configuration is encrypted.

24 hours.
