Loading and installing patches<br />

5. Click the Save icon to save any information you entered, or click Cancel<br />

to reset changes to their original values.<br />

To import a patch from CD-ROM or diskette:<br />

Typically, patches are downloaded via the network (using FTP). If<br />

your site requires patch installation using physical media, you can<br />

burn a patch to a CD using the CD burning s<strong>of</strong>tware <strong>of</strong> your choice<br />

(such as Roxio Easy CD Creator). Refer to the CD burning s<strong>of</strong>tware’s<br />

instructions for information on burning the patch file to CD. (You can<br />

also contact Customer Service for general instructions.)<br />

1. In the Import from CDROM/Diskette area select the location <strong>of</strong> the patch<br />

you want to load. The options are:<br />

CDROM—Select this option if the patch resides on CD.<br />

Diskette—Select this option if the patch resides on diskette.<br />

2. Insert the CD-ROM or diskette into the appropriate drive on the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> and click Import Now.<br />

Note: If the patch resides on multiple diskettes, insert the first diskette, click Import<br />

Now, and follow the on-screen prompts.<br />

The patch(es) are loaded onto the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

Installing a patch<br />

Patches that you load or download are not automatically installed.<br />

Rather, you can install them at a time that is convenient for you. This<br />

is important because the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> must be rebooted during the<br />

installation process. The Admin Console allows you to define exactly<br />

when you want patch installation to occur.<br />

Important: If you have an existing HA or One-To-Many cluster, refer to the appropriate<br />

patch Release Notes for information on installing a patch on an HA or One-To-Many<br />

cluster. Release Notes for each patch (as well as a Documentation Addendum, when<br />

applicable) are available on the Secure Computing Web site.<br />

To install a patch, select Firewall <strong>Administration</strong> -> S<strong>of</strong>tware Management,<br />

then select the Install tab. A window similar to the following appears:<br />

Important: It is recommended that you perform a system backup before installing any<br />

patches. See “Backing up system files” on page F-4 for details.<br />
