Note:
Before performing an upgrade to 9.4.2, verify if TACACS is used as an authentication protocol in your switches.
Before performing an upgrade to 9.4.2, verify if TACACS is used as an authentication protocol in your switches.
- If yes, Cisco defect CSCWK14579 may cause authentication failures after the upgrade to 9.4.2. Hence, disable TACACS and perform the firmware upgrade. Then enable the TACACS configuration.
- If switches are not using TACACS for authentication, you can upgrade to 9.4(2) without any issues.
