Upgrading AS 5520 FROM 8.4(7)30

[carl_townshend]

Hi All

I need to upgrade some firewalls currently running 8.4(7)30

I am looking to upgrade them to version 9.1.7.2

Can I go straight to that version without any issues? should I go to a newer version?

Many thanks

Carl

From that release you can directly upgrade to any 9.1(3) and later. Be aware that 9.1(7)2 does not contain the latest security-fixes. It's best to upgrade to the latest interims-version which is 9.1.(7)23 at the moment.

You typed quicker than I did Karsten!

Cheers mate.

but you've been more extensive, that takes time ... ;-)

Given your current version you can upgrade straight away.

Release 9.1(7.23) is the latest interim and would be the recommended version as it incorporates the latest available bug fixes.
