You can use a .zip file to upgrade the engine software locally on the engine command line.
Steps
-
Log on to the node as root with the password set for the engine (you can set the password through the Management Client).
-
Insert the USB drive or the DVD.
-
Run the command
sg-reconfigure.
The
NGFW Configuration Wizard opens.

Select the source media where the upgrade file is located.
-
Select
OK.
The software is upgraded.
Note: The
NGFW Engine verifies the digital signature of the upgrade package before installing it. The verification can take several minutes. The signature must be valid for the upgrade to succeed. If the verification fails, an error message is shown. Verification failure can result from an out-of-date
Forcepoint NGFW software version or an invalid or missing signature.

When prompted, press
Enter.
The engine restarts with the new version.
