The security appliance uses a built-in IDA client to query the firmware from Cisco’s 
IDA server. If a newer firmware is detected after you log in to the Configuration 
Utility for the first time, we recommend that you upgrade your firmware to the 
latest version before you do any other tasks. This feature requires that you have an 
active WAN connection to access the Internet.

Log in to the Configuration Utility for the first time and change the default 
administrator password. See 

If newer firmware is detected, the Firmware Upgrade window opens. The version 
number for the firmware that you are currently using and the version number for 
the latest firmware that is detected are displayed. 

Enter your Cisco.com account credentials in the Username and Password fields. 

A valid Cisco.com account is required to download and install the firmware from 
Cisco.com. If you do not have one, go to this page:

Then click the Create a Cisco.com Account link to register a Cisco.com account. 

NOTE: Skip this step if your Cisco.com account credentials are already configured 
on the security appliance. 

Click Continue.
