Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 2000

Use the procedure in this section to update your Defense Centers, including virtual Defense Centers. For 
the Version 5.3.1.4 update, Defense Centers reboot.

Before you update the Defense Center, reapply access control policies to any managed devices. 
Otherwise, the eventual update of the managed device may fail.

Do not reboot or shut down your appliances during the update until after you see the login prompt. The 
system may appear inactive during the pre-checks portion of the update; this is expected behavior and 
does not require you to reboot or shut down your appliances.

Updating a Defense Center to Version 5.3.1.4 removes existing uninstallers from the appliance.

Read these release notes and complete any required pre-update tasks.
