I have 2 PIX 506's that are currently running v6.2(2) and I want to upgrade them to v6.3(5). We have a Pix-Pix VPN established. Besides making a backup of the configs, and having a backup copy of the OS, am I going to run into any problems doing this? Will I need new encryption keys, for instance?
Thanks.

It should work just fine. I've just upgraded a Pix 506 from 6.3 (4) to
6.3(5) and that has a number of VPN's configured. Upgrade > reboot > all good!Chris.
Thanks. I'm going to be doing this over the weekend, and just wanted confirmation that it was *supposed to be* that simple. :)

Make sure you enable ssh on the outside interfaces incase the vpn does go down so you can fix it. Also, make sure you do a write net for the configs...not just copy and paste from your telnet sesion. When you wr net you get all the VPN keys in clear text as opposed to the ****
I've upgraded at least 50 PIX 501's and 506's combined from various 6.2 ->
6.3 versions and 6.3.x to new 6.3.x versions, it's always the same thing over and over again, just flash and reload. Never had one fail.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
