Sharing Data with Cisco

The following features share data with Cisco.

Cisco Success Network

Cisco Success Network sends usage information and statistics to Cisco, which are essential to provide you with technical support.

During initial setup and upgrades, you may be asked to enroll. You can also change your enrollment at any time.

Cisco Support Diagnostics

Cisco Support Diagnostics (sometimes called Cisco Proactive Support) sends configuration and operational health data to Cisco, and processes that data through our automated problem detection system, allowing us to proactively notify you of issues. This feature also allows Cisco TAC to collect essential information from your devices during the course of a TAC case.

During initial setup and upgrades, you may be asked to enroll. You can also change your enrollment at any time. This feature is not supported with FDM.

Web Analytics

Web analytics provides non-personally-identifiable usage data to Cisco, including but not limited to page interactions, browser versions, product versions, user location, and management IP addresses or hostnames of your FMCs.

You are enrolled by default but you can change your enrollment at any time after you complete initial setup. Note that ad blockers can block web analytics, so if you choose to remain enrolled, please disable ad blocking for the hostnames/IP addresses of your Cisco appliances.

For Assistance

Upgrade Guides

In management center deployments, the management center must run the same or newer version as its managed devices. Upgrade the management center first, then devices. Note that you always want to use the upgrade guide for the version of management center or device manager that you are currently running—not your target version.

Install Guides

If you cannot or do not want to upgrade, you can freshly install major and maintenance releases. This is also called reimaging. You cannot reimage to a patch. Install the appropriate major or maintenance release, then apply the patch. If you are reimaging to an earlier threat defense version on an FXOS device, perform a full reimage—even for devices where the operating system and software are bundled.
