Release Notes for SA500 Series Security Appliances Firmware Version SA500-K9-2.2.0.7

When upgrading from version 1.0.15, 1.0.17, or 1.0.39 the firmware will reset the 
router to its factory default and you will need to back up the configuration 
described in this section. 

These steps only apply if you are upgrading from firmware version 1.0.15, 1.0.17, or 
1.0.39. Otherwise, the upgrading steps below are not required.

Do not try swap images if a secondary image is not present. Doing so can cause 
the router to NOT boot up. 

To upgrade the SA500 follow these steps.

Back up the existing configuration using the SA500 Configuration Utility.

If you need to revert to the previous version, this allows you to restore the 
configuration associated with the prior version.

To access the configuration back-up options, click Administration on the menu 
bar, then click Firmware & Configuration > Network in the navigation tree.

Follow the instructions in the Cisco SA500 Series Security Appliances 
Administration Guide to back up the configuration.

Write down or take screenshots of your existing configuration settings. After 
upgrading to version SA500-K9-2.2.0.7 you must manually re-enter these settings 
by using the SA500 Configuration Utility.

This is necessary because the SA500 is reset to factory defaults as part of the 
upgrade process and the previous configuration back-up file format is 
incompatible with the format required for version SA500-K9-2.2.0.7.

Perform the upgrade by using the Configuration Utility. To access the upgrade 
options, see the Upgrade section of the Getting Started (Basic) page of the 
Configuration Utility.

Manually re-enter the configuration settings you recorded in Step 2.
