Installing Maintenance Software
Installing Maintenance Software
You can download the maintenance software from a TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server when you are logged
into the application partition. Passwords for the root and guest accounts of the maintenance partition are
retained after the upgrade.
For multiple context mode, you must be in the system execution space.
Make sure you have network access to the server:
• For single context mode, configure any interface, its IP address, and any static routes required to
reach the server. See the “Configuring Interfaces” section on page 6-6 and then Chapter 8,
“Configuring IP Addresses, Routing, and DHCP.”
• For multiple context mode, you must first add the admin context and configure interfaces, IP
addresses, and routing to provide network access. See the “Configuring a Security Context” section
on page 5-19, and then the “Configuring Interfaces” section on page 6-6 and Chapter 8,
“Configuring IP Addresses, Routing, and DHCP.”
To upgrade the maintenance partition software, enter one of the following commands for the appropriate
download server:
• To download the maintenance software from a TFTP server, enter the following command:
FWSM# upgrade-mp tftp[://
server
[:
port
][/
path
]/
filename
]
If you do not enter the TFTP server information, you are prompted for the server information.
• To download the maintenance software from an HTTP or HTTPS server, enter the following
command:
FWSM# upgrade-mp http[s]://[
user
[:
password
]@]
server
[:
port
][/
path
]/
filename

FWSM# upgrade-mp tftp
