Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 4000

You must update your Defense Centers before you can update the devices they manage.

Cisco recommends that you use the Defense Center’s web interface to update not only itself, but also the 
devices it manages. You must use the Defense Center to update managed devices that do not have a web 
interface, such as virtual devices and Sourcefire Software for  X-Series. For major updates to Sourcefire 
Software for  X-Series, you may need to uninstall the previous version and install the new version. See 
the Sourcefire Software for  X-Series Installation Guide for more information.

The Product Updates page (

) shows the version of each update, as well as the date and 

time it was generated. It also indicates whether a reboot is required as part of the update.

When you upload updates obtained from Support to your appliance, they appear on the page. 
Uninstallers for patch and feature updates also appear; see 

. 

On the Defense Center, the page can list VDB updates.

For patches and feature updates, you can take advantage of the automated update feature; see
