Reimage Guide
Cisco ASA and Firepower Threat Defense Reimage Guide
This guide describes how to reimage between ASA and Firepower Threat Defense (FTD), and also how to
perform a reimage for FTD using a new image version; this method is distinct from an upgrade, and sets the
FTD to a factory default state. For ASA reimaging, see the ASA general operations configuration guide, where
you can use multiple methods to reimage the ASA.
