Upgrade notes

On the VM platform, to avoid the VMware network broadcast storm for the new deployment, each WAN/LAN interface pair is disabled by default so that traffic will not pass through.

In the initial deployment, please remember to enable the WAN/LAN interface pair via CLI.

# config system l2-interface-pair

# edit l2-port1-port2

# set status enable

# next

# end

On upgrade, whether the system is set to Fail-Open or manually forced into the bypass state, traffic will be blocked for a few seconds on the transition from bypass to inline when the upgrade is complete.

Upgrades should be done in a maintenance window or traffic should be diverted.
