Enhanced Path Selection
NA
You cannot downgrade ION devices running version 5.6 or higher if you have selected Use Data Centers for Non Hub Paths on the ION devices.
To downgrade the ION device, deselect Use Data Centers for Non Hub Paths and then downgrade the device.
Stacked Security Policies
You can continue to use both original security policies and stacked security policies after upgrading your ION device to Release 5.6 or higher.
You can access the Security Policies (Original) tab, only if you have already configured original security policies. If you have started using Prisma SD-WAN with Release 5.6 or later, you will not be able to view or access the Security Policies (Original) tab.
Before upgrading your device, ensure that there is no stacked policy set having the same name as the original policy set. In case there is a name duplication, change the name of your stacked policy set and then upgrade the device.
When you upgrade a device running versions lower than 5.6 to version 5.6, and there are original security policy sets on the device, the device transforms the original security policies to stacked security policies. The device creates a new policy set stack for the original security policy set. The device also creates a default policy set from the default rules in the original policies. The default policy set contains three different rules—default-deny, intra-zone-allow, self-zone-allow.
You cannot downgrade ION devices running version 5.6 or higher if you have attached a security stack to the sites having these devices.
To downgrade, remove the security stack and then downgrade the device.
Site Summary Dashboard
NA
You can downgrade your device to a version lower than 5.6, but note that the health score is generated only for devices running versions 5.6 or later.
Syslog Enhancements
  • Syslog over TLS
  • Syslog Profiles
NA
You cannot downgrade ION devices running version 5.6 or higher if you have Syslog TLS or FQDN configured on the ION devices.
To downgrade the ION device, remove the Syslog TLS or FQDN configurations and then downgrade the device.
Multicast Routing
NA
If you have configured multicast on the ION device, then before downgrading, disable multicast on the interface.
If you have configured a Rendezvous Point (RP), delete the RP configuration.
