AltocumulusFirmware Update question
Hi everyone,
sorry if this is not in the correct forum. If it's not please let me know which one it should be posted in.
Just a quick question. We have a Firepass 1200 that is running firmware 6.02. We now wish to upgrade to 6.03, mainly for the better MAC support. Are there any known traps/issues in going from 6.02 to 6.03? I am hoping it will be a painless update but thought it would be prudent to ask here in case someone else has done this and ran into problems.
Regards
Craig

FWIW, I had no issues upgrading from 6.0.2 to 6.0.3.
On the other hand, I had major headaches after installing Hotfix 2.1-1 for 6.0.3 after we had begun widely deploying the stand-alone F5 Networks VPN Client. That problem was due to our restrictive pre-logon inspection which requires a URI landing and the fact that the stand-alone client connects to the Firepass without any landing after updating itself. It also added a controller to the client's controller list, even though the Firepass configuration is set to have the client controller list match what is set in the Firepass. I've got a CR on this and apparently it will be resolved at some future time.
If you use the stand-alone client I highly recommend testing first if at all possible.
CraigM_17826Hi Michael,
thanks for the feedback. Our pre-logon inspection is fairly simple and we only allow VPN access to a select few people. The Firepass is mainly used for remote desktop sessions to selected servers. Hopefully we won't encounter any issues.
Regards,
Craig
