ASA upgrade from 8.2(3) to 8.2(5)

[faeza-nagi]

Hi,

We wish to upgrade 8.2(3) to 8.2(5) on our asa 5520 and 5510. I have been looking for Cisco guides for installation instructions but havent been able to track any. can you help? or is it just as striaght forward as copy image, reboot secondary and the primary

Thanks,

F

Hi,

Yes, if its a single standalone firewall, then copy the image to the flash, then do:

show run boot

remove the old boot parameter, by adding a "no" in front of it, add the boot parameter for the new image of ASA 8.2.5, do a write memory and reload the firewall.

But if you are doing it on a failover pair, then you need to follow this doc:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/ps6120/products_configuration_example09186a0080b20f35.shtml

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Varun

Hi Varun,

thanks for quicke response. Yes these are active/failover pairs of ASA - Thats what I was lookin for but wasnt sure if skipping 8.2(4) is going to be much drama.

thanks for your input and the document.
