Updating Your Appliances

Using the Shell to Perform the Update

Although Sourcefire recommends that you use the web interface on your 

Defense Centers to perform updates, there may be rare situations where you 

need to update the appliance using the bash shell.

Do not use the shell to update a fresh, unconfigured (Version 5.2) 

installation of the Sourcefire 3D System. Before you update an appliance using 

the shell, make sure that you complete its initial setup using its web interface. 

For the Version 5.2.0.6 update, managed devices reboot. Managed 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 

 on page 3.

To install the update using the shell:

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

For more information, see 

 on page 2 and

Download the update directly from the Support Site. If you

3. Log into the appliance’s shell using an account with Administrator privileges.

Client. Note that on a Series 3 or virtual managed device, you must type
