Software updates (.maj)

To download SNS firewall software update files:

  1. Log in to your MyStormshield area.

  2. Go to Downloads > Stormshield Network Security > Firmware. If necessary, select a version branch as well, to narrow down the list.

  3. Locate the version(s) that you wish to install. To do so:

    • Refer to the version release notes to find out what the SNS versions contain,

    • Ensure that the version is compatible with your firewall model. If several firewalls have been configured using the same USB key, you may need several software update files (different firewall architectures, different preloaded software versions, etc).

    • If a version has several patch versions, always choose the most recent so that you benefit from the latest functional patches and bug fixes,

    • Use versions that have not yet expired. For more information, refer to the Network Security & Tools product life cycle guide.

  4. To choose the desired version, click on the name that matches the firewall model to download its software update file (.maj).

Name

EXAMPLES
fwupd-4.8.1-SNS-armv6-S.maj
fwupd-4.8.1-SNS-amd64-M.maj
fwupd-4.8.1-SNS-amd64-XL.maj

IMPORTANT
During the installation sequence, the USB key must be removed when the firewall restarts.

If the increment between the major firmware version of the firewall in factory settings and the software versions found on the key is lower than 2 (e.g., firewall in version 3.9.0 and firmware 4.0.0 on the key), only the higher software version on the key will be installed. If this is not the case, an intermediate firmware version must be provided on the key so that an automatic update can be carried out in stages (e.g., firewall in version 2.14.0 and firmware versions 3.9.0 and 4.0.0 on the key).
