CPLD Updates

We recently installed a new XGS and as part of the initial installation, we were notified of a CPLD update.

Is there any way to tell what version of CPLD firmware is running on an XGS?

What is the process for any future updates? Are these only ever released as part of an SFOS update or is this something that may be released separately at some time?

As the process requires powering off the XGS rather than just a reboot, what are the implications of installing a new SFOS but not re-powering the XGS (I'm thinking of remote updates)?

  • This is a rare condition to update the CPLD. If needed, you will have to unplug the Firewall device once. The firewall will still continue to work as expected without this, but you should think about a timeframe. I would not expect those requirements to occur often.

  • Hi, What are the recommendations for HA - Active/Passive ?

  • Same as for a standalone appliance. Turn off the hardware, remove the power cord, wait some time (seconds) and plug it back in.

    You can combine this with a firmware update, if you want or do it after this. 

    As always, schedule a downtime and do not do this in the running business, if possible.
