Umbrella Virtual Appliance - Version 2.7

Note: Virtual Appliance 2.7 release to the stage track is being halted due to some issues and a new release 2.7.1 is being made available (this is the same as version 2.6.2).  The release schedule of version 2.7 will be updated on this page. 

On Monday, December 2, 2019, Cisco Umbrella will release Virtual Appliance (VA) version 2.7 to the stage track. 

On Tuesday, December 3, 2019, Cisco Umbrella will release Virtual Appliance (VA) version 2.7.1 (same as previous version 2.6.2) to the stage track and production tracks. Only Virtual Appliances running version 2.7.0 will upgrade to version 2.7.1.  

On Tuesday, December 10, 2019, Cisco Umbrella will release Virtual Appliance (VA) version 2.7.2 to the stage track.  

Customer VAs may upgrade over a period of days as opposed to consecutively upgrading one after another. To receive this upgrade, ensure that your firewall is configured to enable access to disthost.umbrella.com.

As a reminder, two VAs must be configured in order to upgrade automatically during these windows.
