Syntax Changes from ASA Version 9.2(4) to ASA Version 9.6.2

[Eric York]

We have a few ASAs with Version 9.2(4) that we are looking to upgrade to the latest software version 9.6.2. Are there any concerns I should have in regards to NAT Statements and ACLs between these two? Thanks for the help.

Hi

From 9.2 to 9.6, there isn't any changes in need to take into consideration except if you're using Firepower.

Check the release note for firepower changes: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa96/release/notes/asarn96.pdf

Thanks

We are using Virtual Management Center. Will be upgrading that to 6.1.0. That's the reason for the latest updates on all of our ASAs ahead of time.

ok. You won't face any configuration command issue with this migration step.

Hi,

There are no such changes with NAT and ACL in 9.2.x and 9.6.x. You can directly move to version 9.6.2 after taking the complete backup of your current configuration.

Please find the below document for your reference.

The major changes happens with respect to NAT and ACL with version pre 8.3 and post 8.3.
