Obtain FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN Engine upgrade files

If the Management Server is not set up to download engine upgrades automatically or if you want to upgrade engines locally, download the installation files manually.

Check the installation file integrity using the MD5 or SHA-1 file checksums. Windows does not have MD5 or SHA-1 checksum programs by default, but there are several third-party programs available.

Steps

  1. Go to https://⁠support.forcepoint.com.
  2. Enter your license code or log on using an existing user account.
  3. Select Downloads.
  4. Under Network Security, click the version of the Secure SD-WAN Engine software that you want to download, then select the type of installation file to download.
    • The .zip file is used in the remote upgrade on all supported platforms. It can also be used for a local upgrade from a USB drive or a non-bootable DVD.
    • The .iso file allows you to create a bootable installation DVD for a local upgrade on platforms that have an optical drive.
  5. On your local computer, change to the directory that contains the files to be checked.
  6. (Linux only) Generate a checksum of the file using one of the following commands, where filename is the name of the installation file:
    • sha1sum filename
    • sha256sum filename
    • sha512sum filename
    For Windows, see the documentation for the third-party checksum program.
    Example: 
    $ sha1sum sg_engine_1.0.0.1000.iso
869aecd7dc39321aa2e0cfaf7fafdb8f sg_engine_1.0.0.1000.iso
  7. Compare the displayed output to the checksum on the website.
    CAUTION:
    Do not use files that have invalid checksums. If downloading the files again does not help, contact Forcepoint Technical Support to resolve the issue.
