During my upgrade to 6.0.0 the longest part was the FMC upgrade which took a few hours. I was thinking of starting the FMC upgrade towards the end of the day to minimize the amount of extra time I have to spend in the office, and then upgrade my ASA after hours. Is there any risk of a network disruption with the ASA while I upgrade the FMC? Because it is a management server I'm assuming not but I don't want to cause a connectivity issue while users are still in the office.</P> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 14:04:59 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/will-fmc-upgrade-cause-a-network-interruption-with-the-asa/m-p/3031873#M998876 rweir0001 2020-02-21T14:04:59Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/will-fmc-upgrade-cause-a-network-interruption-with-the-asa/m-p/3031874#M998877 <P>Hello,</P> <P>during FMC upgrade procedure there is no impact on managed devices. Only disruption will be before upgrade and after, as you have to re-apply your Access control policy bundle before and after each upgrade otherwise upgrade itself would fail if policy is out of date.&nbsp;</P> <P></P> <P>Best regards,</P> <P>Veronika</P> Mon, 22 May 2017 13:46:13 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/will-fmc-upgrade-cause-a-network-interruption-with-the-asa/m-p/3031874#M998877 Veronika Klauzova 2017-05-22T13:46:13Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/will-fmc-upgrade-cause-a-network-interruption-with-the-asa/m-p/3031875#M998878 <P>I'd recommend going all the way to the (al)most current FMC 6.2.0.1 as part of a multi-step upgrade.</P> <P>You will have to update your managed devices to 6.1 once your FMC is at that level and prior to moving on to 6.2 because FMC 6.2+ can only manage devices as far back as 6.1.</P> <P>(6.2.1 is the absolute latest right now but currently only for FMC and 2100 series with FTD, but we expect 6.2.2 in a month or so to catch up the rest of the device types.)</P> Mon, 22 May 2017 14:31:47 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/will-fmc-upgrade-cause-a-network-interruption-with-the-asa/m-p/3031875#M998878 Marvin Rhoads 2017-05-22T14:31:47Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/will-fmc-upgrade-cause-a-network-interruption-with-the-asa/m-p/3031876#M998879 <P>Marvin,</P> <P></P> <P>Yes, that's my goal but between the FMC and two ASAs configured for redundancy the upgrades take several hours so I'm upgrading incrementally.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 23 May 2017 17:03:03 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/will-fmc-upgrade-cause-a-network-interruption-with-the-asa/m-p/3031876#M998879 rweir0001 2017-05-23T17:03:03Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/will-fmc-upgrade-cause-a-network-interruption-with-the-asa/m-p/3031877#M998880 <P>Thanks, Veronika. There wasn't any connectivity issues while the FMC upgraded....but yes, like you said the only disruption is when the ASA itself rebooted during it's upgrade.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 23 May 2017 17:05:16 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/will-fmc-upgrade-cause-a-network-interruption-with-the-asa/m-p/3031877#M998880 rweir0001 2017-05-23T17:05:16Z
