ASA upgrade 9.1(5) to 9.4(2)11

[Ernesto.Avila]

Hi! I´m trying to find if someone already has upgraded a Cisco ASA 5545X configured as Active/Standby from version 9.1(5) to 9.4(2)11? which I saw on Cisco page marked as recomended.


I´m thinking to apply this upgrade on next weekend, but I´m afraid something may goes wrong and needed to rollback, so If you could give me some guide. I read bad experience with fixed version 9.1(7)4 thats why I´m thinking to move to a major release. Any comment would be kindly appreciated.

Hi,

My name is John, I'm a cisco engineer.

I understand your concern, let me provide you a link, this link will provide you information on how you should do the upgrade on a failover device.

I hope this works for you, if you need further assistance don't hesitate to contact Cisco Support.

It seems 9.4.(2)-11 was removed for download... I downloaded the image Thursday afternoon and happened to check the site today only to find it was gone. I wouldn't be concerned but form what I can tell the bugs resolved in 9.4.(2)-11 are still present in 9.4.(2).

I'm posting to this thread to hopefully avoid issues for the original poster and get an answer to my question.

At this point is ASA OS 9.4.(2) a recommended release for the ASA 5500-X Series right now? It's not even listed as recommended now (but none are).

9.4(2)11 is still available under interim releases since that was it is.

I'm running 9.4(2)11 without problems.

Yeah i also saw Cisco removed that labels (Cisco suggested release) dunno why. I always installed those.

Hi ilukeberry, Your are running 9.4(2)11 on cisco ASA X Series and configured as Active / Failover?

I´ll upgrade the IOS tomorrow morning, with that version.

Hi!

Just to confirm I´ve upgrade my Active/Failover Cisco 5545X firewalls from 9.1(5) to 9.4(2)11. So far so good.

Thank you all for your comments :-)

I'm glad that it worked out for you!
