Thanks for that compdoc. I must say, I'm very impressed with the upgrade ability.
I performed the upgrade remotely over an RDP session tunnelled through SSH to a PC in green, then an SSH putty session back to the firewall from there. Followed the instructions (after doing a backup) to upgrade 2.1.2 to 2.2. Everything worked fine, no network drop during the process. Noticed that the firewall website was unavailable after the upgrade, did a restart of the server. Cue: 3 minutes of biting fingernails, but all came back up fine, including http access to admin gui. There was a few minutes of sluggish network response after the reboot, but everything is now working fine. Well done Endian! compdoc wrote: > You won't lose connection if you ssh directly to the efw > from outside.
