Before you upgrade or downgrade an SD-WAN plugin, you must know what are the appropriate plugin versions that you can upgrade or downgrade from the currently installed SD-WAN plugin version on your firewall. Therefore, always refer to the valid upgrade and downgrade paths for your currently installed SD-WAN plugin version as a first step in your migration plan.

Upgrade and Downgrade Considerations

  • If you need to upgrade your SD-WAN plugin, don't upgrade to a release that we released before your currently installed version.
    For example, we don't support an upgrade from SD-WAN plugin version 3.0.7 to SD-WAN plugin version 3.2.0 because we released SD-WAN plugin version 3.2.0 before SD-WAN plugin 3.0.7.
    However, you can upgrade from any maintenance release to another maintenance release within the same major or minor release version. For example, you can upgrade from any SD-WAN 2.2 to any other SD-WAN 2.2 plugin release.
    Refer the upgrade paths and downgrade paths for SD-WAN plugin before upgrading or downgrading your currently installed SD-WAN plugin version.
  • If you need to downgrade your SD-WAN plugin, don't downgrade to a release that we released after your currently installed version.
    For example, we don't support a downgrade from SD-WAN plugin version 3.2.0 to SD-WAN plugin version 3.0.7 because we released SD-WAN plugin version 3.0.7 after SD-WAN plugin 3.2.0.
    Refer the upgrade paths and downgrade paths for SD-WAN plugin before upgrading or downgrading your currently installed SD-WAN plugin version.

Upgrade Path for SD-WAN Plugin

Interpret the information in the upgrade table as follows:
  • Upgrade From (the Current Installed Version)—The current SD-WAN plugin version before the upgrade.
  • To Allowed SD-WAN Plugin Version—The list of SD-WAN plugin versions you can upgrade to from the current SD-WAN plugin version.
  • To Recommended SD-WAN Plugin Version—The SD-WAN plugin version we recommend you to upgrade to from the current SD-WAN plugin version.
For example, you can upgrade from the SD-WAN plugin version 2.2.1 to SD-WAN plugin versions 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6, 2.2.7, and later 2.2 releases. However, out of all the valid SD-WAN plugin versions (2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6, 2.2.7, and later 2.2 releases), our recommended version is 2.2.7. Note that if you want to upgrade from SD-WAN 2.2.1 to 3.0.8, you can't upgrade it directly. You must first upgrade the SD-WAN plugin from 2.2.1 to 2.2.7 (the recommended version) and then to 3.0.8.
Following are the upgrade paths for the SD-WAN plugin version. When you perform an SD-WAN upgrade, the target plugin version performs the migration process.
