Determine the Configuration Master Versions to Use

Your Security Management appliance provides multiple Configuration Masters, so that you can centrally manage Web Security appliances that run different versions of AsyncOS for Web Security that support different features.

Each Configuration Master contains configurations to be used for a particular version or versions of AsyncOS for Web Security.

To determine which configuration master version to use for your versions of AsyncOS for Web Security, see the Compatibility Matrix at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/content-security-management-appliance/products-release-notes-list.html.

Note
The Configuration Master version should match the AsyncOS version on the Web Security appliance, as specified in the Compatibility Matrix. Publishing an older Configuration Master version to a newer Web Security appliance may fail if settings on the Web Security appliance do not match the settings in the Configuration Master. This can occur even if the Web Appliance Status detail page does not indicate any discrepancies. In this case, you must manually compare the configurations on each appliance.
