The entire BootWare program file contains a basic segment and an extended segment.
•
The basic segment is used for the basic initialization of the SecBlade card. After the basic
initialization, the network interfaces and the CF card are still unavailable.
•
After the SecBlade card runs the extended segment, the network interfaces and the CF card are
available. The extended segment provides diversified human-computer interaction (HCI) functions
to upgrade the applications and the boot system.
•
After the basic segment is booted, the extended segment can be upgraded on the menu of the basic
segment.
Application files
Currently, the application files on a SecBlade card usually refer to the boot files. A boot file is an
application file used to boot the SecBlade card. By default, a SecBlade card defines three application
files for boot.
•
Main application file (main file for short): The default name is main.bin and the file type is M. It is
the default application file used for the SecBlade card boot.
•
Backup application file (backup file for short): The default file name is backup.bin and the file type
is B. When booting with the main application file fails, the SecBlade card uses the backup
application file to boot.
•
Secure application file (secure file for short): The file name is secure.bin and the file type is S. When
booting with the main and backup application files fails, the SecBlade card uses the secure
application file to boot. When booting with the secure application file fails, boot failure will be
prompted.
These three types of files are stored on the CF card for all SecBlade cards except the SSL VPN cards. For
an SSL VPN card, the files are stored on the flash memory by default.
If you have loaded the three application files into the CF card, the SecBlade card will boot using these
three files in sequence. To change the sequence or a file type, see “
.
Note that:
•
The application files for booting the SecBlade card can be type M, B, and S, but not type N/A (type
other than M, B, or S).
•
You can modify the name of application files using the rename command after the SecBlade card
boots. If you changed the name of the secure application file, there is no secure application file on
the CF card and you need to download a secure application file to the CF card again.
•
You can modify the type of application files of type M, B or N/A except type S on the BootWare
menu, or at the CLI after the SecBlade card boots.
•
The secure application file is the last resort for the SecBlade card boot. You cannot change the type
of the secure application file, or change other types of files to the secure application file. You can
only download it using the BootWare menu.
•
There is only one application file of the same type (M, B, or S) on the CF card.
Configuration files
The configuration files of FW, AFD, AFC, SSL VPN, LB, NS and ADE cards are stored on the CF card,
while those of ACG and IPS cards are stored under a special directory in the database.

Configuration files of FW, AFD, AFC, SSL VPN, LB, NS and ADE cards
The configuration files store configuration information of SecBlade cards. By default, three configuration
files are defined to load configuration information at the SecBlade card boot.
