Upgrading AS 5520 FROM 8.4(7)30

Hi All

I need to upgrade some firewalls currently running 8.4(7)30

I am looking to upgrade them to version 9.1.7.2

Can I go straight to that version without any issues? should I go to a newer version?

Many thanks

Carl

From that release you can directly upgrade to any 9.1(3) and later. Be aware that 9.1(7)2 does not contain the latest security-fixes. It's best to upgrade to the latest interims-version which is 9.1.(7)23 at the moment.

Given your current version you can upgrade straight away.

Release 9.1(7.23) is the latest interim and would be the recommended version as it incorporates the latest available bug fixes.
