IMPORTANT
SNS 3.x versions have reached End of Maintenance since July 1st, 2024.
We recommend that you update your SNS firewalls to a version with maintenance to guarantee the protection of your infrastructure.

# System update tab

## Available updates:

Check for new updates | The firewall will conduct a search for new system updates on update servers (Objects > Network objects) and will display them on the screen.

## System update

Select the update: | Select the firewall update to be installed and insert it in the field using the button . The SHA1 fingerprint of the update file is displayed when you click on the link with its name. When a new firmware version is available, the Release Notes link will enable the user to download the version release notes applicable to the firmware version offered for download.
Save the active partition on the backup partition before updating the firewall | If this option is selected, you will back up your system’s main partition on the backup partition, in order to keep a record of it. The firewall will restart after the update is complete.
Updating the firmware | Apply the selected update on your appliance by clicking on this button. NOTE Updates to an earlier version are not supported and may cause instability, require the product to be reset.

NOTE
In high availability clusters, if you choose to enable updates on both firewalls, the upgrade will be applied only to the remote firewall, to prevent your network from becoming inaccessible. Proceed as follows to enable this upgrade on your active firewall:

1. Ensure that the upgrade of the passive firewall on the Dashboard (Hardware component) screen is complete.
2. Go back to the Maintenance module, System upgrade tab and select "This firewall" as the Firewall to be upgraded,
3. In advanced properties, select the option "Enable the firmware downloaded earlier" then click on Upgrade the firewall.

A switch will take place and your passive Firewall will become active.
