Solved: Re: ASA 5525 IOS upgrade

Seroj Hacopian · ‎03-07-2021

can I upgrade ASA 5525 from IOS 7.0 to 9.0 straight or do I need to work my way up from 8.0 to get to 9.0

ASA is not in production currently.

Thanks

Hi

7 is very old version. Never tested myself but based on documentation, if you want to go with lates 9 version, you need to have 9.0.4 as interim upgrade.

Check this documentation: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/upgrade/asa-upgrade/planning.html#id_58680

However, it has to be tested and as this is not a production device, I believe you can test it easily.

Thanks

I think you are mistaken about your current version. ASA 5525-X is not supported with ASA 7.0 software - that was an old version for the Pix. Maybe you are looking at your ASDM version instead.
