• Make sure the patch file matches the device model and software version.
• Save the patch file to the root directory of the device's storage medium. If the storage medium has
been partitioned, save the files to the root directory of the first partition.
• Correctly name a patch file in the patch_PATCH-FlAG suffix.bin format. The PATCH-FLAG suffix must
be the same as the first three characters of the value for the Version field in the output from the
display patch information command. The default patch file name for the firewall is patch_hfw.bin.
If a patch file is not correctly named, the system cannot identify the file.
Installing and running a patch in one step
To install and run patches in one step, use the patch install command. This command changes the state
of installed patches from IDLE to ACTIVE or RUNNING, depending on your choice.
When you execute the patch install command, you must choose to run installed patches or disable
running them after a reboot. If you choose to have installed patches continue to run after a reboot, the
installed patches are set in RUNNING state and remain in this state after a reboot. If not, the installed
patches are set in ACTIVE state and change to the DEACTIVE state at a reboot.
