Cİsco ASA Upgrading

[Reha Kucukosmanoglu]

Hello;

I want to Upgrade my Cisco ASA5516X Firepower (FMC)'s 6.2.2 to 6.4.0.9 version;

I want to ask:

Is this a risky process, if upgrade fails is my device or FMC software lost. Thanks...

We are not clear, is the ASA running FTD Code or ASA running with SFR Module?

Either case here is upgrade procedure :

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/upgrade/asa-upgrade/planning.html

Notes :

1 read the release notes and understand the bugs

2. back up the config - out of the box

3. FMC needs to higher version always - so required first upgrade. ( check the compatibility matrix)

4. required maintenance window to reboot. after upgrade.

Hello;

We use FTD code.

I want to additional ask. May Device and FMC version equal or everytime FMC version must higher. Thanks... 

(I plan Device and FMC both upgrade to 6.4.0.9)

[balaji.bandi · Accepted solution]

it should be equal or higher (not Lower) - Look at the Matrix to support FTD version.
