Upgrade Configuration

Policy attributes, objects, or other device configurations may change as part of the management center upgrade. Upgrading your management center to a major version may enable certain functionality by default. The Upgrade Configuration setting allows you to generate a pending configuration changes report when you complete the next major version upgrade of the management center. This report displays the policy and device configuration changes that are pending to be deployed on the managed devices after an upgrade. When the management center upgrade is complete, choose Message Center > Tasks to download the reports.

The pending configuration changes report includes:

  • Comparison View: Compares all the post-upgrade configuration changes that are pending to be deployed on the managed devices with the current device configuration.

  • Advanced View: Uses the CLI to preview the pending configuration changes.

For more information about the pending configuration changes report, see Deployment Preview in the Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Device Configuration Guide.
