Updating the Device Chapter 9
Back Up Controls License
Before updating your software, you must back up your controls license. To back
up your controls license from the command line, follow these steps.
1. Access the SFR command line interface.
If you are using a console cable, the CLI defaults to ASA. In this case, use
the command session sfr console, and then press Enter to
access ASA. If you use SSH to connect directly to SFR, then you do not
need to use this command.
Log in to SFR with your configured username and password.
If you did not configure a password, the SFR 5.4 defaults are
username=admin, password=Sourcefire.
The SFR 6.4 defaults are username=admin, password=Admin123.
2. Type expert to change to the Linux console.
The prompt changes, and the full Linux command structure is available.
3. Type sudo -i, and then type the same password that you used in Step 2,
again at the prompt, which gives you root access and elevates your
permission level.
4. Type cd /etc/sf/license.d to navigate to the controls
license folder.
5. Type cat *.lic to display your entire license.
Install the SFR 6.4.0 Update
Follow these instructions to install the SFR 6.4.0 update, which is completed
entirely through CLI.
1. Log in to the console for the ASA.
2. Back up your SFR configuration: Updating SFR to 6.4 from 5.4 causes you
lose the ability to have multiple policies. Therefore, you cannot back up
from a file. It is necessary either to record the current active policy to hard
copy, or copy and paste the information electronically.
Back up your rules through SFR in ASDM.
To back up the network configuration, type show module SFR.
3. Copy the ASA SFR boot image to disk0 via FTP, HTTP, TFTP, or
SD card.

IMPORTANT Save the output of your controls license in a text file for later use.
IMPORTANT Record the IP address, Network mask, Gateway, and NTP Server details as
this process deletes that information. Otherwise, you are forced to
regenerate the information.
