Available Versions
Because upgrades cause one-way transformation of key subsystems, the reversion
process is complex and requires qualification by Cisco IronPort Quality
Assurance teams. IronPort certifies specific versions of CASE, Sophos, Outbreak
Filters, and McAfee to AsyncOS versions. Not all prior versions of the AsyncOS
operating system are available for reversion. The earliest AsyncOS version
supported for this functionality is AsyncOS 5.5.0; prior versions of AsyncOS are
not supported.

Important Note About Reversion Impact
Using the
revert
command on a Cisco IronPort appliance is a very destructive

network information for the management interface is preserved--all other network
configuration is deleted. In addition, reversion disrupts mail handling until the
appliance is reconfigured. Because this command destroys network configuration,
you may need physical local access to the Cisco IronPort appliance when you
want to issue the
