Thanks Guys, atleast that gives a success rate guarantee of around 90%, better than some of those Vaccine drugs in the market. Cheerz On Mon, 2009-07-13 at 15:42 -0500, Tim Eberhard wrote: You configuration will remain after the upgrade/reboot. Downgrading is the same process as upgrading

The bin file is within the ZIP. You will load the bin to the firewall. I would highly recommend against using anything but juniper.net to download your netscreen software. Never ever get your images from any where but directly from Juniper. The firewall images could contain back doors, root kits

Sorry guys, The two firewalls are in completely two different networks and in no way work together. The reason I mentioned the two is because I tried the same VPN on the other Firewall with a higher firmware and it worked within minutes of set-up. So i really want to upgrade this firewall.

George, It's not possible to preform any kind of hitless upgrade.. The Netscreen must reboot once the new code is loaded. So you must factor in the time it will take for the firewall to reload in addition to the hit it will take when the wall comes back online and the traffic starts to flood

Thanks Guys, Sure I had planned to upgrade to above 5.2 , are these firmwares available for download? So the next question is really about the configs, Once a reboot is done all the previous setting take in effect, is that so? And for a rollback the do I just scroll for the image? Regards

You configuration will remain after the upgrade/reboot. Downgrading is the same process as upgrading as long as you're going from say 5.2 to 5.0. Just load the 5.0 image and reboot. The 5.0 image is blown away when you load the newer screenOS. Good luck, -Tim Eberhard On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at
