Contact Support if you receive an error message while installing the intrusion rule update. Observe the following guidelines when importing a local rule file:. The system imports local rules preceded with a single pound character , but they are flagged as deleted. The system imports local rules preceded with a single pound character , and does not import local rules preceded with two pound characters.

In a multidomain deployment, the system assigns a GID of 1 to a rule imported into or created in the Global domain, and a domain-specific GID between and for all other domains.

If you do, specify only GID 1 for a standard text rule. This avoids collisions with SIDs of other rules, including deleted rules. The system will automatically assign the rule the next available custom rule SID of or greater, and a revision number of 1.

In a multidomain deployment, if multiple administrators are importing local rules at the same time, SIDs within an individual domain might appear to be non-sequential because the system assigned the intervening numbers in the sequence to another domain.

When importing an updated version of a local rule you have previously imported, or when reinstating a local rule you have deleted, you must include the SID assigned by the system and a revision number greater than the current revision number. You can determine the revision number for a current or deleted rule by editing the rule.

Import local rules on the primary Firepower Management Center in a high availability pair to avoid SID numbering issues. The import fails if a rule contains any of the following:. Policy validation fails if you enable an imported local rule that uses the deprecated threshold keyword in combination with the intrusion event thresholding feature in an intrusion policy. All imported local rules are automatically saved in the local rule category.

The system always sets local rules that you import to the disabled rule state. You must manually set the state of local rules before you can use them in your intrusion policy. Make sure your local rule file follows the guidelines described in Best Practices for Importing Local Intrusion Rules. Make sure your process for importing local intrusion rules complies with your security policies.

Even if the Message Center shows no progress for several minutes or indicates that the import has failed, do not restart the import. The Firepower Management Center generates a record for each rule update and local rule file that you import.

Each record includes a time stamp, the name of the user who imported the file, and a status icon indicating whether the import succeeded or failed. You can maintain a list of all rule updates and local rule files that you import, delete any record from the list, and access detailed records for all imported rules and rule update components.

The Rule Update Import Log detailed view lists a detailed record for each object imported in a rule update or local rule file. You can also create a custom workflow or report from the records listed that includes only the information that matches your specific needs. The name of the import file. If the import fails, a brief statement of the reason for the failure appears under the file name. The user name of the user that triggered the import. The red status icon indicating an unsuccessful or incomplete import appears on the Rule Update Log page during the import and is replaced by the green icon only when the import has successfully completed.

You can view import details as they appear while an intrusion rule update import is in progress. In a multidomain deployment, you can view data for the current domain and for any descendant domains.

You cannot view data from higher level or sibling domains. Click Rule Update Log. Deleting the file from the log does not delete any object imported in the import file, but only deletes the import log records.

An indication that one of the following has occurred for the object type:. The default action defined by the rule update. When the imported object type is rule , the default action is Pass , Alert , or Drop. For all other imported object types, there is no default action. A string unique to the component or rule. This field is blank for a rule that has not changed. The domain whose intrusion policies can use the updated rule. Intrusion policies in descendant domains can also use the rule.

This field is only present in a multidomain deployment. The generator ID for a rule. For example, 1 standard text rule , Global domain or legacy GID or 3 shared object rule. The name of the imported object, which for rules corresponds to the rule Message field, and for rule update components is the component name. For imported rules, this field displays All. This means that the rule was imported successfully, and can be enabled in all appropriate default intrusion policies.

For other types of imported objects, this field is blank. The type of imported object, which can be one of the following:. The count 1 for each record.

If your Firepower system is not connected to the internet, essential updates will not occur automatically. Get FTD upgrade packages from an internal web server. FTD devices can now get upgrade packages from your own internal web server, rather than from the FMC. This is especially useful if you have limited bandwidth between the FMC and its devices. It also saves space on the FMC. This feature is supported only for FTD devices running Version 6.

It is not supported for upgrades to Version 6. When you set up a new or reimaged FMC, the system automatically schedules:. A weekly task to download software updates for the FMC and its managed devices. The tasks are scheduled in UTC, which means that when they occur locally depends on the date and your specific location.

Also, because tasks are scheduled in UTC, they do not adjust for Daylight Saving Time, summer time, or any such seasonal adjustments that you may observe in your location. We recommend you review the auto-scheduled configurations and adjust them if necessary. FMC upgrades now postpone scheduled tasks. Any task scheduled to begin during the upgrade will begin five minutes after the post-upgrade reboot. Before you begin any upgrade, you must still make sure running tasks are complete.

Tasks running when the upgrade begins are stopped, become failed tasks, and cannot be resumed. Note that this feature is supported for all upgrades from a supported version. This includes Version 6. This feature is not supported for upgrades to a supported version from an unsupported version. So Firepower can verify that you are using the correct update files, the system now uses signed updates for intrusion rules SRU , the vulnerability database VDB , and the geolocation database GeoDB. Earlier versions continue to use unsigned updates.

Signed update files begin with 'Cisco' instead of 'Sourcefire,' and terminate in. Updated: July 16, Contents Introduction. Introduction This document discusses reasons a scheduled task to update a Cisco Firepower Management Center might fail.

Configuration outside of your Management Center impacts download. For example, a firewall rule might allow only one IP address for support. Action Item System default configuration for automatic download No action required Download the update file manually and upload it to Firepower Management Center No action required Firewall rules to filter access to the Cisco managed Download Update Infrastructure Follow the solution Failures are partially mitigated by the three retries and the next scheduled run.

Repeated failures are likely an indication of an external factor such as firewalls or an outage with the Infrastructure. As the round robin DNS is on the domain name, you need to take steps in order to ensure that there is no intermittent download failures. For example: telnet support.

This started occurring just within the past few days. Thank you all for your answers. I see this issue in 6. I suppose Cisco is aware if this issue and they will solve it soon. Same issue here on two instances of FMC. Going to see if my contacts at Cisco can shed any light.

I checked support. SSL Server Test: support. I am running 6. Verify return code: 20 unable to get local issuer certificate. Same problem here running 6. Been having this issue since yesterday and I thought it was just me and have been trying to troubleshoot. I am glad it is not just me that is affected. Buy or Renew.
