Copy the PIX Firewall binary image (pixnnn.bin) to the root directory of the TFTP server.

For PIX Classic, 10000, 510 and 520s use the procedure for Creating a Bootable Diskette. Use the boothelper file that most closely corresponds to the PIX image you are upgrading to. Boot the PIX from the boothelper floppy to enter the boothelper mode.

All other PIX devices (501, 506, 515, 525 and 535) do not contain a floppy drive; instead, they have an internal boot monitor mode. Please see the instructions for Entering Monitor Mode on a PIX 501, 506, 515, 525 or 535.

Once in monitor or boothelper mode, you can use the ? key to see a list of available options.

Type interface number The interface command specifies which PIX interface the TFTP server is connected out of. The default is interface 1 (inside).

Note: The PIX Firewall cannot initialize a Gigabit Ethernet interface from monitor or boothelper mode. Use a Fast Ethernet or Token Ring interface instead.

Type address pix_interface_ip_address The address command specifies the IP address of the PIX Firewall unit's interface.

Type server tftp_server_ip_address The server command specifies the TFTP server's IP address.

Type file filename The file command specifies the filename of the PIX Firewall image.

Type ping tftp_server_ip_address Ping the server to verify accessibility. If this command fails, double-check your cables, IP address of the server and of the PIX, and IP address of the gateway (if needed). The pings must succeed before you can continue.

Note: Use the gateway command to specify the IP address of a router gateway through which the server is accessible: gateway ip_address of the gateway interface

Type tftp to start the download of image from the TFTP server.

After the image downloads, you are prompted to install the new image. Enter y to install the image to Flash.

When prompted to enter a new activation key, enter y if you wish to enter a new activation key, or n to keep your existing activation key. See Upgrading the Activation Key for more information about the activation key and how to obtain a new one.

If you used the boothelper mode, you are prompted to remove the boothelper diskette. You have 30 seconds to remove the diskette before the PIX automatically reboots. Please remove the diskette now. Once the PIX reboots it will load the new image from Flash.

This completes the upgrade process.
