FWSM - how to check Maintainance mode version

[gagansethi]

Good Day,

To check the maintainance mode version, I have to boot into the maintainance partition of the FWSM. Will this reload my FWSM or hamper the production N/w?

Is there any other way to check the maintainance mode version ?

Thanks

Gagan

You can download the maintenance software from a TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server when you are logged into the application partition. Passwords for the root and guest accounts of the maintenance partition are retained after the upgrade.
