When to upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 on IPS-SSM_10

[Jason Choe]

I have IPS-SSM10 on ASA5510 running on IPS version 7.0(8)E4. When do I need an upgrade to 7.1 version?

Hello Jason,

I would say as soon as possible

Why this??? Because if you are on the latest version you will be able to fix previous bugs, you will be able to use new features,etc.

So try to take advantage of the system and be on the latest version

Regards,

Julio

7.1(6) is the first 64-bit OS for the SSM platform.  Previously this was only available for some of the larger appliances and modules.  I suggest that you read through the following Read Me for 7.1(6) before upgrading so that you better understand the new features, resolved bugs, and open caveats.
