Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 2000

The following sections help you uninstall the Version 5.3.1.5 update from your appliances:

Before you uninstall the update, you must thoroughly read and understand the following sections.

You must uninstall updates locally. You cannot use a Defense Center to uninstall the update from a 
ASA FirePOWER device.

For all physical appliances and virtual Defense Centers, uninstall the update using the local web 
interface. Because Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Servicesdo not have a web interface, you must use the 
bash shell to uninstall the update.

Uninstall the update in the reverse order that you installed it. That is, first uninstall the update from 
ASA FirePOWER devices, then from Defense Centers.

ASA FirePOWER devices do not perform traffic inspection, switching, routing, or related functions 
while the update is being uninstalled. Depending on how your devices are configured and deployed, the 
uninstallation process may also affect traffic flow and link state. For more information, see 

.

Uninstalling the Version 5.3.1.5 update does not revert the online help to its previous version. If the 
version of your online help does not match that of your FireSIGHT System software, your online help 
may contain documentation for unavailable features and may have problems with context sensitivity and 
link functionality.

After you uninstall the update, there are several steps you should take to ensure that your deployment is 
performing properly. These include verifying that the uninstall succeeded and that all appliances in your 
deployment are communicating successfully.

The next sections include detailed instructions not only on performing the update, but also on completing 
any post-update steps. Make sure you complete all of the listed tasks.

The following procedure explains how to uninstall the Version 5.3.1.5 update from ASA FirePOWER 
devices. You cannot use a Defense Center to uninstall the update from a ASA FirePOWER device.
