Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 4000

Always allow enough time between tasks for the process to complete. Tasks should be scheduled at least 
30 minutes apart. For example, if you schedule a task to install an update and the update has not finished 
copying from the Defense Center to the device, the installation task will not succeed. However, if the 
scheduled installation task repeats daily, it will install the pushed update when it runs the next day.

If you want to have more control over this process, you can use the 

 option to download and install 

updates during off-peak hours after you learn that an update has been released.

See the following sections for more information:
