CCESS: Any
1. Using the user name and password for your support account, log into the
Sourcefire Support Site (https://support.sourcefire.com/).
2. Click Downloads, select the 3D System tab on the page that appears, and then
click the major version of the system software you want to install.
For example, to download a Version 5.2 or Version 5.2.1 ISO image, you
would click Downloads > 3D System > 5.2.
3. Find the image (ISO image) that you want to download.
You can click one of the links on the left side of the page to view the
appropriate section of the page. For example, you would click 5.2.1 Images to
view the images and release notes for Version 5.2.1 of the Sourcefire 3D
System.
4. Click the ISO image you want to download.
The file begins downloading.
5. Optionally, download system software and intrusion rule updates:
• System software updates are on the same page of the Support Site as
the ISO images. You can click one of the links on the left side of the
page to view the appropriate section of the page. For example, you
would click 5.2.1 to view the updates and release notes for Version 5.2.1
of the Sourcefire 3D System.
• To download a rule update, select Downloads > Rules & VDB > Rules. The
most recent rule update is at the top of the page.
Remember that if you are restoring a DC1000 or DC3000 you must install
updates after the restore process completes.
6. How are you going to restore the appliance?
• For most appliances—those that you restore with a USB or internal
flash drive—copy the files to an HTTP (web) server, FTP server, or
SCP-enabled host that the appliance can access on its management
network.
• For the DC1000 and DC3000, create a restore CD using the ISO image.
WARNING! Do not transfer ISO or update files via email; the files can
become corrupted. Also, do not change the names of the files; the restore
utility requires that they be named as they are on the Support Site.
