MASTER FILES
Upgrading the Software
Once the reload is in progress, a Reload Status window appears that indicates that a reload is being
performed. An option to exit ASDM is also provided.
Step 11 After the ASA reloads, restart ASDM.
(ASDM) Upgrade Using the Cisco.com Wizard
The Upgrade Software from Cisco.com Wizard lets you automatically upgrade the ASDM and ASA to
more current versions.
In this wizard, you can do the following:
• Choose an ASA image file and/or ASDM image file to upgrade.
Note ASDM downloads the latest image version, which includes the build number. For example,
if you are downloading 8.4(1), the download might be 8.4(1.2). This behavior is expected,
so you may proceed with the planned upgrade.
• Review the upgrade changes that you have made.
• Download the image or images and install them.
• Review the status of the installation.
• If the installation completed successfully, restart the ASA to save the configuration and complete
the upgrade.
