The following procedure explains how to import a new rule update manually. This procedure is 
especially useful if your Defense Center does not have Internet access.
To manually import a rule update:
Access: 
Admin
Step 1
From a computer that can access the Internet, access either of the following Support Sites:
 •
Sourcefire:

 (http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html)
Step 2
Click 
Download
, then click 
Rules
.
Step 3
Navigate to the latest rule update.
Tip
Rule updates are cumulative, so the newest rule update contains the intrusion rules and new features of 
all previous rule updates. You cannot import a rule update with a version number lower than the version 
of the currently installed update.
Step 4
Click the rule update file that you want to download and save it to your computer.
Step 5
Log into your appliance’s web interface.
Step 6
Select 
System > Updates
, then select the 
Rule Updates
 tab.
The Rule Updates page appears.
Tip
You can also click 
Import Rules
 on the Rule Editor page, which you access by selecting 
Policies > Intrusion 
> Rule Editor
.
Step 7
Optionally, click 
Delete All Local Rules
, then click 
OK
 to move all user-defined rules that you have created 
or imported to the deleted folder. See 
 for more information.
Step 8
Select 
Rule Update or text rule file to upload and install
 and click 
Browse
 to navigate to and select the rule 
update file.
Step 9
Optionally, select 
Reapply intrusion policies after the Rule Update import completes
 to automatically reapply 
intrusion policies currently applied from this appliance when the rule update import completes.
Note that you cannot apply access control policies to stacked devices that are running different versions 
of the FireSIGHT System (for example, if an upgrade on one of the devices fails). See 
 for more information.
Step 10
Click 
Import
.
The rule update is installed and the system displays the Rule Update Log detailed view. See 
 for more information.
If you selected 
Reapply intrusion policies after the Rule Update import completes
 in step 
, the system applies 
only the intrusion policies in the currently applied access control policy but does not apply the access 
control policy. See 
 for more information.
