describes platform-dependent release examples.
Upgrading Cisco IPS Software from 4.1 to 5.0
Note
You cannot upgrade the IDSM (WS-X6381) to Cisco IPS 5.0. You must replace your IDSM (WS-X6381)
with IDSM-2 (WS-SVC-IDSM2-K9), which supports Cisco IPS 5.0.
The minimum required version for upgrading to 5.0 is 4.1(1). The upgrade from Cisco 4.1 to 5.0 is
available as a download from Cisco.com. For the procedure for accessing Downloads on Cisco.com, see
Obtaining Cisco IPS Software, page 10-1
.
After downloading the 5.0 upgrade file, refer to the accompanying Readme for the procedure for
installing the 5.0 upgrade file using the upgrade command. Or refer to
Upgrading the Sensor
.
If you configured Auto Update for your sensor, copy the 5.0 upgrade file to the directory on the server
that your sensor polls for updates. Refer to
Configuring Automatic Upgrades
.
