Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 2000

FireSIGHT System Release Notes

Installing the Update

Updating Managed Devices, ASA FirePOWER Modules

After you update your Defense Centers to Version 5.4, Version 5.4.1, or Version 5.4.1.5, use them to update the devices they manage.

A Defense Center must be running at least Version 5.4 to update its managed devices to Version 5.4.1.4. Because they do not have a web 
interface, you must use the Defense Center to update your virtual managed devices, , and ASA FirePOWER modules.

Updating managed devices is a two-step process. First, download the update from the Support site and upload it to the managing Defense 
Center. Next, install the software. You can update multiple devices at once, but only if they use the same update file.

For the Version 5.4.0.6 update, all devices reboot; VAP groups reload. Series 3 devices do not perform traffic inspection, switching, routing, 
NAT, VPN, or related functions during the update. Depending on how your devices are configured and deployed, the update process may 
also affect traffic flow and link state. For more information, see 

.

 Before you update a managed device, use its managing Defense Center to reapply the appropriate access control policy to the 

managed device. Otherwise, the managed device update 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.

 If you plan on updating the system to Version 6.0, you must install the FireSIGHT System Version 6.0 Pre-Installation package prior 

to updating the Version 6.0. For more information, see the 

If you plan to update managed Series 3 devices, 

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

: Download the update directly from the Support site. If you transfer an update file by email, it may become corrupted. 

For more information, see 

The system must have the required amount of disk space prior to attempting an update. Updating a system that does not have 

enough disk space will fail. For more information, see the 

Update the software on the devices’ managing Defense Center; see
