WARNING!
Before you update a managed device, use its managing Defense
Center to reapply the appropriate access control policy to the managed device.
Otherwise, the managed device update may fail.
WARNING!
Do not reboot or shut down your appliances during the update until
after you see the login prompt. The system may appear inactive during the
pre-checks portion of the update; this is expected behavior and does not require
you to reboot or shut down your appliances.
TIP!
If your Sourcefire Software for X-Series is deployed inline and you are using
multi-member VAP groups, Sourcefire recommends that you update the VAPs
one at a time. This allows the other VAPs in the group to inspect network traffic
while the VAP that is being updated reloads. If you are using single-VAP VAP
groups in an inline deployment, reloading the VAP causes an interruption in
network traffic. Make sure you plan the update for a maintenance window or
other time when it will have the least impact on your deployment.
