Upgrading appliance software
The appliance’s IP addresses will change. Ensure that you update any rules or configurations that depend on it such as fixed-target rules for on-premise appliances that peer with your cloud appliances, on-premise firewall configurations, or security group configurations.
9.16 and earlier appliances cannot be upgraded to 10.0 and later. You must deploy new appliances to run 10.0 and later.
Upgrade and downgrade virtual or cloud appliance operating system software in the same manner as physical appliances by using the Software Upgrade page in an appliance’s Management Console.
In some cases, you may be able to upgrade or downgrade the software of appliances deployed into AWS through the Cloud Portal by performing this task:
1. Log in to the portal and select the Cloud Appliances tab. If your user account is associated with multiple companies, select the company that contains the appliance you want to upgrade.
2. Select Appliances, and then select the name of the appliance you want to upgrade or downgrade.
3. Select the Summary tab, and stop the appliance.
4. Select a version from the Version drop-down list, and then click Update Details.
