Re: Upgrading a Zywall 5
What revision are you on?
Here is what I typically do
1) backup your config (mark the FW revision in filename)
2) reboot zywall
3) upgrade firmware (upload the .bin file)
4) check if everything OK. if you see funky behavior reset the unit to factory defaults and reconfigure from scratch (do not upload old backup) |

When does the .ROM file come into play?

2 edits | With 4.02 I strongly recommend following
1) backup your config (mark the FW revision in filename) ..just in case
2) take screenshots of your current configuration (for manual entry later)
3) reboot zywall
4) upgrade firmware (upload the .bin file)
5) reset to factory defaults (hold down the HW reset button for 10 sec, or reset through GUI)
6) reconfigure by hand from scratch, do not load old config
.rom is default configuration settings (same as factory reset)
It is included in the firmware itself too, so when you do factory reset (as described above) default settings are loaded |

| A big thanks Brano!
I just completed the upgrade and manually reentered everything (now I remember why it was so long between updates ), and all looks good so far. I will keep my eyes on the logs to see if I missed anything or I see anything new.
