Upgrade the new Web Filter & Security appliance

The new Web Filter & Security appliance can now be upgraded to v8.5 using the standard upgrade procedure. See Upgrade Instructions for Web Filter & Security (also applies to v7.8.4 Web Security).

Components must be upgraded in the following order:

  • Policy Broker machine
  • Policy Server machines
  • Filtering Service, Network Agent, and User Service machines
  • Log Server
  • TRITON management server (already upgraded if it hosts Policy Broker)
  • Any additional components
Important:

When the upgrade is complete, shut down the appliance.

This allows the dual-mode appliance to be booted, converted to a single-mode appliance, and upgraded to v8.5. The network interfaces are also reconfigured as part of the process.
