Central Administrator Pre-Configuration
You might need to manually pre-configure the threat defense before you send it to the branch office.
(Optional) Check the Software and Install a New Version
To check the software version and, if necessary, install a different version, perform these steps. We recommend
that you install your target version before you configure the firewall. Alternatively, you can perform an upgrade
after you are up and running, but upgrading, which preserves your configuration, may take longer than using
this procedure.
What Version Should I Run?
Cisco recommends running a Gold Star release indicated by a gold star next to the release number on the
software download page. You can also refer to the release strategy described in https://www.cisco.com/c/en/
us/products/collateral/security/firewalls/bulletin-c25-743178.html; for example, this bulletin describes short-term
release numbering (with the latest features), long-term release numbering (maintenance releases and patches
for a longer period of time), or extra long-term release numbering (maintenance releases and patches for the
longest period of time, for government certification).
