2.1.7. The Console Boot Menu Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance 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 below: If any console key is pressed during these 3 seconds then NetDefendOS startup pauses and the console boot menu is displayed. Initial Boot Menu Options without a Password Set When NetDefendOS is started for the first time with no console password set for console access then the full set of boot menu options are displayed as shown below: 47
