Upgrade support

Upgrade paths for Manager software versions

Note

Before you start upgrading to the latest 10.1 Manager version, ensure that you do not change the timestamp and timezone values of the Manager.

Caution

Starting with release 10.1.7.50, the Manager software version supports only TLS 1.2 ciphers for Manager and Sensor communication.

Caution

If you are currently using Sensor software version that supports TLS 1.0 and you upgrade your Manager software to 10.1.7.50 or later, the communication between the Manager and Sensor will fail. Therefore, you must first upgrade the Sensor to a software version that supports TLS 1.2 and then, upgrade your Manager to 10.1.7.50 or later versions. Post this, you can upgrade the Sensor to 10.1.7.96 or later versions.

For example, if you have a Virtual IPS Sensor running on 9.2.7.10 (TLS 1.0) and Manager on 10.1.7.44, and you plan to upgrade the Sensor to 10.1.7.155 and Manager to 10.1.7.65, you must follow the upgrade path as listed below:

  1. Upgrade your Virtual IPS Sensor from 9.2.7.10 (Supports TLS 1.0) to 10.1.7.86 (Supports TLS 1.2).
  2. Upgrade the Manager from 10.1.7.44 to 10.1.7.65
  3. Upgrade the Sensor from 10.1.7.86 to 10.1.7.155

Upgrade paths for Sensor software versions

Virtual IPS Sensor software ESXi (IPS-VM600):

Caution

Starting with release 10.1.7.50, the Manager software version supports only TLS 1.2 ciphers for Manager and Sensor communication.

Caution

If you are currently using Sensor software version that supports TLS 1.0 and you upgrade your Manager software to 10.1.7.50 or later, the communication between the Manager and Sensor will fail. Therefore, you must first upgrade the Sensor to a software version that supports TLS 1.2 and then, upgrade your Manager to 10.1.7.50 or later versions. Post this, you can upgrade the Sensor to 10.1.7.96 or later versions.

For example, if you have a Virtual IPS Sensor running on 9.2.7.10 (TLS 1.0) and Manager on 10.1.7.44, and you plan to upgrade the Sensor to 10.1.7.155 and Manager to 10.1.7.65, you must follow the upgrade path as listed below:

  1. Upgrade your Virtual IPS Sensor from 9.2.7.10 (Supports TLS 1.0) to 10.1.7.86 (Supports TLS 1.2).
  2. Upgrade the Manager from 10.1.7.44 to 10.1.7.65
  3. Upgrade the Sensor from 10.1.7.86 to 10.1.7.155
Sensor models Version TLS support Upgrade path to 10.1
Virtual IPS Sensor software ESXi (IPS-VM600) 9.1.7.13, 9.1.7.18, 9.1.7.22, 9.1.7.25, 9.1.7.27 TLS 1.2 10.1.7.155
9.2.7.10, 9.2.7.26 TLS 1.0 10.1.7.86 | 10.1.7.155
9.2.7.20, 9.2.7.54, 9.2.7.56, 9.2.7.65 TLS 1.2 10.1.7.155
10.1.7.1, 10.1.7.42, 10.1.7.51, 10.1.7.65, 10.1.7.86, 10.1.7.96 , 10.1.7.123, 10.1.7.135 TLS 1.2 10.1.7.155

Note

If the Sensor is running on 10.1.7.123 or a later version of 10.1 and you plan to downgrade it to 10.1.7.86 or an older version, you need to first downgrade the Sensor to 10.1.7.96 and then, downgrade it to the targeted version.

Important

  • When you are downloading the Sensor software in the Manager, ensure that the Manager software release is equal to or higher than the Sensor software release. For example: If you are using 10.1.7.55 (10.1 Update 8) Manager, the Sensor software must be 10.1.7.123 (10.1 Update 8) or any lower version. You must not download the Sensor software 10.1.7.135 (10.1 Update 9) or higher version using the 10.1.7.55 (10.1 Update 8) Manager.
  • If you have already downloaded a higher release of Sensor software in an older Manager release, the Manager is in a bad state. To recover the Manager, manually delete the Sensor software files.
