CAUTION
Software upgrades require a reboot to take effect. Rebooting the PEP interrupts data traffic for
approximately two minutes. During this time all packets are discarded.
To upgrade software on the PEPs:
1 From the EncrypTight Enforcement Point CD for the PEPs that you want to upgrade, copy the folder
for your appliance model to your default FTP directory.
For example, if you are upgrading ETEP PEPs, copy the ETEP folder to your FTP directory.
2 In the Appliance Manager, select the PEPs to upgrade. If you are managing the PEPs in-line, upgrade
the remote site PEPs first before upgrading the data center PEP, as shown in Figure 19.
3On the Tools menu, click Upgrade Software.
4 Enter the FTP server site information for the upgrade software, as described in Table 18. Do not use
the following special characters in the FTP user name and password: @ : ? # < > &.
Optional. Click Verify to confirm that the site is reachable. If it is not, ETEMS displays a message
indicating the nature of the problem.
ETEP PEPs automatically back up the file system prior to upgrading. If you experience a problem
with an upgrade, you can then restore the PEP’s file system from the backup copy.
5 Select the Reboot after upgrade check box to automatically reboot the PEPs immediately following
a successful upgrade. To reboot at a later time, clear the check box.
6Click Upgrade. Upgrade results for each appliance are displayed in the Result column of the Upgrade
Appliances table.
7 Upgrading the software version on the appliance does not automatically update the ETEMS
configuration. After the appliances have been rebooted, you can edit the ETEMS configurations to
reflect the new software version running on the appliances (Edit > Multiple Configurations >
Software Version).
Table 18 FTP server site information for appliance software upgrades
Field Description
Host IP address of the management workstation running the FTP server software.
If you are retrieving log files from a host that has already been configured,
you can select its IP address from the Host box. ETEMS completes the
remaining FTP server information for you based on the selected host IP
address.
ETEP 1.6 and later appliances support IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If you are
using an IPv6 host address, all of the selected appliances must support
IPv6.

directory listing relative to the default directory. If the files are located in the
default directory, leave this field blank.
