2.1.7. The Console Boot Menu Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance • script/ - The object type for all CLI scripts. Scripts are described further in Section 2.1.5, "CLI Scripts". • sshclientkey/ - The SSH client key object type. Examples of Uploading and Downloading In some cases, a file is located in the NetDefendOS root. The license file (license.lic) falls into this category, as well as backup files for configurations (config.bak) and the complete system (full.bak). When uploading, these files contain a unique header which identifies what they are. NetDefendOS checks this header and ensures the file is stored only in the root (all files do not have a header). If an administrator username is admin1 and the IPv4 address of the NetDefend Firewall is 10.5.62.11 then to upload a configuration backup, the SCP command would be: > scp config.bak [email protected]: To download a configuration backup to the current local directory, the command would be: > scp [email protected]:config.bak ./ To upload a file to an object type under the root, the command is slightly different. If we have a local CLI script file called my_script.sgs then the upload command would be: > scp my_script.sgs [email protected]:script/ If we have the same CLI script file called my_scripts.sgs stored on the NetDefend Firewall then the download command would be: > scp [email protected]:script/my_script.sgs ./ Activating Uploads Like all configuration changes, SCP uploads only become active after the CLI commands activate have been issued and this must be followed by commit to make the change permanent. Uploads of firmware upgrades (packaged in .upg files) or a full system backup (full.bak) are the exception. Both of these file types will result in an automatic system reboot. The other exception is for script uploads which do not affect the configuration. 2.1.7. The Console Boot Menu The NetDefendOS loader is the base software on top of which NetDefendOS runs and the administrator's direct interface to this is called the console boot menu (also known simply as the boot menu). This section discusses the boot menu options. Accessing the Console Boot Menu The boot menu is only accessible through a console device attached directly to the serial console located on the NetDefend Firewall. It can be accessed through the console after the NetDefend Firewall is powered up and before NetDefendOS is fully started. After powering up the NetDefend Firewall, there is a 3 second interval before NetDefendOS starts up and in that time the message Press any key to abort and load boot menu is displayed as shown 50
