Upgrade/Downgrade

Upgrade system software

There is a different Citrix SD-WAN software package for each appliance model. You need to download the appropriate SD-WAN WANOP software package for an appliance you want to include in a network and save it in your local drive.

The appliance software is upgraded by means of patch files that you obtain from Citrix.

NOTE:

If the appliances are running older software release version, you need to upgrade to the latest software release version first.

To upgrade system software, go to Configuration > Maintenance. Select Upgrade System Software under Upgrade/Downgrade. select the patch file, and upload it to the appliance.

The patch file will be examined by the appliance. Only a valid patch file can upgrade the system to a different release from the one currently in use.

An upgrade preserves license files and system settings. The upgraded unit requires no reconfiguration except for any new features that have been added with the new release.

Change release

The change release page displays the currently installed release. If you want to change the release version, click Change Release option and select the release from the drop-down list and click Change.

Backup settings

You can back up the appliance configuration by saving it as a text file.

Click Save Settings, a text file is downloaded to your local drive. License files, SSH parameters, and the IP addresses on the Management IP page cannot be saved. The file is an ordinary text file, but should not be edited manually.

Restore settings

Once the file is saved, it can be restored to the same SD-WAN WANOP appliance.

The appliance maintains copies of older releases. Restore Settings option helps to restore configured settings. Licenses files, SSH parameters, and the IP addresses on the Management IP page are not copied back from the newer release to the older one. Instead, the appliance will revert to the settings that were in effect at the time the older release was upgraded.
