Firepower System Release Notes
Updating to Version 6.1.0
The further your appliance’s current version is from Version 6.1.0, the longer the update takes.
Caution:
Do not reboot or shut down your appliance during the update until you see the login prompt. The system may appear inactive during the
pre-checks; this is expected behavior and does not require you to reboot or shut down your appliance.
Note:
The guidelines below do not include the time required to complete the readiness check. For more information about the readiness check, see
.
If you encounter issues with the progress of your update, contact Support.
Post-Update Tasks
After you perform the update on the Firepower Management Center or managed devices, deploy configuration changes to the devices.
Note:
You must deploy configuration changes first after updating the Firepower Management Center and a second time after updating its managed
devices.
When you deploy configuration changes, resource demands may result in a small number of packets dropping without inspection. Additionally,
deploying some configurations requires the Snort process to restart, temporarily interrupting traffic inspection. Whether traffic drops during this
interruption or passes without further inspection depends on the model of the managed device and how it handles traffic. For more information, see
the Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide.
