Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160

Read through and consider the installation and upgrade impacts listed in this section. 

When you upgrade AsyncOS for Email from the web interface or Command Line Interface (CLI), the 
configuration is saved to file in the /configuration/upgrade directory. You can access the upgrade 
directory using an FTP client. Each configuration file name is appended with the version number, and 
passwords in the configuration file are masked so they are not human readable.

You must be logged in as the admin to upgrade. Also, you must reboot the appliance after upgrading.

All virtual appliance models. 

The following hardware models:

If you have a previous Email Security Virtual Appliance release and you want to use more than 2 TB of

instances using a Cisco Content Security Management appliance. 

When you upgrade a virtual appliance, the existing licenses remain unchanged.
