z
Uses the default configuration file (if any) to initialize the configuration. The default configuration file
is
startup.cfg
. Note that you can use the
startup
saved-configuration
cfgfile
command to define
the configuration file to be used at the next system boot.
z
Uses the default settings if the default configuration file does not exist.
Note that:
z
The F5000-A5 does not support the main and backup attributes of configuration files.
z
You can rename the configuration files at the CLI after the application program is started.
z
A configuration file name cannot be longer than 64 characters, including a drive letter and a string
terminator. For instance, if the drive letter is “cfa0:/”, the file name without the drive letter and string
terminator can be at most [ 64 – 1 – 6 ] = 57 characters in length.
z
If the file name with the drive identifier and string terminator excluded contains more than 57
characters, errors will occur in file operation. Typically, a file name with the driver identifier and
string terminator excluded is recommended to contain no more than 16 characters.
z
At BootWare boot, the names of the configuration files will be displayed, but the types will still be
displayed as N/A.

Software Maintenance Methods
You can maintain the firewall software in the following two ways:
z
Upgrade BootWare and application programs using the Xmodem protocol through a serial port.
z
Upgrade BootWare and application programs using the FTP or TFTP protocol through an Ethernet
interface. This upgrade can be carried out on the BootWare menu or at the CLI.
Note that:
z
When upgrading an application file, if you select to overwrite the existing application file, make sure
the power supply works normally during the upgrade process. Otherwise, the application upgrade
will fail and the existing application file will be damaged. If the existing application file is the only
one for booting the system, the device will fail at the next reboot.
z
When upgrading the basic BootWare section, make sure the power supply works normally during
the upgrade process. Otherwise, the basic BootWare section will be damaged, resulting in failure
of device reboot.
z
If upgrading the extended BootWare section fails, you can upgrade it again.
