Chapter 5 Software Maintenance
The security gateway contains three types of files:

Boot ROM program files
z
Application program files

Configuration files
Software maintenance mainly involves upgrading/downloading Boot ROM/application
program files and uploading/downloading configuration files.

you need to upload system files and http.zip files separately instead of uploading the
whole file. You can detach the http.zip files by using the
detach
command.
