Note
The Signature Set version 11.9.0.21 bundled with this release of Manager contains only Digital Envoy database for IP address to Geolocation Mapping. This signature set version will not be a part of the publicly available signature sets.
Note
The Manager software 11.1 is not supported on Windows-based Appliance. The end-of-life for Windows-based Appliance has been declared and the end-of-life is on 01-Apr, 2023. Trellix recommends you to migrate from Windows-based Appliance to Linux-based Appliance.
Note
If you have a 9.x Manager managing 9.x NTBA, you should consider upgrading 9.x Manager to 10.1 or 11.1. If you plan to upgrade the Manager to 11.1, you need to first upgrade it to 10.1.7.65 and then to 11.1.
Upgrade support
Upgrade paths for Manager software versions
Note
Before you start upgrading to the latest 11.1 Manager version, ensure that you do not change the timestamp and timezone values of the Manager.
Caution
The Manager software supports only TLS 1.2 ciphers for Manager and Sensor communication.
Caution
If you are currently using Sensor software version that supports TLS 1.0 and you upgrade your Manager software to 10.1.7.65 or above, the communication between the Manager and Sensor will fail. Therefore, you must first upgrade the Sensor to a software version that supports TLS 1.2 and later upgrade your Manager to 10.1.7.65 or above. Post this, you may upgrade the Sensor to 10.1.7.155 or above.
For example, if you have a VM600 Sensor running on software version 9.2.7.26 (TLS 1.0) and Manager software version 10.1.7.44, and you plan to upgrade the Sensor to 10.1.7.155 and Manager to 10.1.7.65, you must follow the upgrade path as listed below:
Upgrade your VM600 Sensor from 9.2.7.26 (Supports TLS 1.0) to 10.1.7.86 (Supports TLS 1.2).
Upgrade the Manager from 10.1.7.44 to 10.1.7.65.
Upgrade the Sensor from 10.1.7.86 to 10.1.7.155.
Note
If you have Sensor software version that supports TLS 1.0, please refer to KB96194 and contact Trellix Support for assistance.
