Reverting to a Previous Version of AsyncOS for Web
Configuration File Use in the Revert Process
Effective in version 7.5, when you upgrade to a later version, the upgrade process automatically saves
the current system configuration to a file on the Web Security appliance. (However, Cisco recommends
manually saving the configuration file to a local machine as a backup.) This allows AsyncOS for Web to
load the configuration file associated with the earlier release after reverting to the earlier version.
However, when it performs a reversion, it uses the current network settings for the management
interface.

Reverting AsyncOS for an Appliance Managed by the SMA
You can revert AsyncOS for Web from the Web Security appliance. However, if the Web Security
appliance is managed by a Security Management appliance, consider the following rules and guidelines:

When Centralized Reporting is enabled on the Web Security appliance, AsyncOS for Web finishes
transferring the reporting data to the Security Management appliance before it starts the reversion.
If the files take longer than 40 seconds to transfer to the Security Management appliance, AsyncOS
for Web prompts you to continue waiting to transfer the files, or continue the reversion without
transferring all files.

You must associate the Web Security appliance with the appropriate Configuration Master after

Reverting AsyncOS for Web to a Previous Version
Caution
Reverting the operating system on a Web Security appliance is a very destructive action and destroys all
configuration logs and databases. Reversion also disrupts web traffic handling until the appliance is
reconfigured. Depending on the initial Web Security appliance configuration, this action may destroy
network configuration. If this happens, you will need physical local access to the appliance after
performing the reversion.

Note
If updates to the set of URL categories are available, they will be applied after AsyncOS reversion.
