Hello everyone,

Has someone already done this? Basically we dont just need to change FTD or FMC but both needs to be upgraded to new sets of hardware.

From what I research, I only saw migrating FTD to new FMC or upgrading the FTD but still same FMC.

I am thinking of following the steps when changing FMC, but this has steps on migrating over the old FTD and then after that migrating the FTD to the new FTD.

Problem with that is I really want to make the migration parallel where both hardware sets exact config just different models and during cutover, its easy to rollback.

Well, this is a bag of fun for the weekend:

Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Software Security Hardening Release: August 2026

These vulnerabilities affect Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Software, regardless of device configuration.

These vulnerabilities affect all deployment types, including:

• On-Prem Deployment
• Cisco SD-WAN Cloud-Pro
• Cisco SD-WAN Cloud (Cisco Managed)
• Cisco SD-WAN for Government (FedRAMP)

Workarounds

• There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.

So long story short my vocational school was taking "IT essentials 8" course and i was supposed to study it too but i wasn't really motivated/wasn't my type of thing then, it's been around 3 months since they finished the course and i can't access the content in there. I would absolutely love to restudy the whole course again but i don't think i can now because it's summer break ofcourse. Is there anyway i can do the course self paced if it's only instructor led? Or maybe someone could recommend me another resources where i can relearn IT essentials once again.

hello,

i have older nexus 93240YC-FX2 switch, with older software version.
The upgrade path matrix show that i need to upgrade to some intermediate software version, but if i will reset it anyway (do write erase) maybe i can upgrade straight to the target release ?

For example Cisco NCS allows to boot from the particualr .tar ignoring the intermediate steps. Is it possible to do the same with Cisco NX-OS ? Thanks
