Updating Managed Devices and Sourcefire Software for X-Series

After you update your Defense Centers to Version 5.3.1, use them to update the 

devices they manage.
 A Defense Center must be running at least Version 5.3.1 to update its managed 

devices to 5.3.0.5. Because they do not have a web interface, you must use the 

Defense Center to update Sourcefire Software for X-Series and virtual managed 

devices.
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 5.3.0.5 update, all devices reboot; Sourcefire Software for 

X-Series VAP groups reload. Depending on how your devices are configured and 

deployed, the update process may also affect traffic flow and link state. For more
