      You can install the latest version and run the backup with another older version without affecting the base version

          Yes, you can restore a config from 2.5.2 (or any older version) into 2.7.

              Upgrade to 2.6 first. Set the repo to 2.5.2. Then run:

              pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade
              

              Then set tjhe repo to 2.6 and upgrade to that.

                I tried the way you told me, and it worked without problems, but I need to know how to update from 2.5.2 to 2.7 directly without having to use a new installation

                  You have to go through 2.6. Use the instructions above to upgrade to that if you have tried to upgrade to 2.7 and failed.

                      You didn't set the repo branch to 2.5.2 first. So it just reinstalled the 2.7 pkgs.

                              Ok, try using 2.6 directly then. That should still allow you to upgrade from 2.5.2

                                    Looks good. Good luck! 👍

                                    Make sure you have a config backup and a recovery plan if you need it.

                                      Hi! @stephenw10 how are you today? I tried to update my main pfsense server, which is installed on a Dell PowerEdge R6525 server, with three interfaces connected, one for the LAN, another for the WAN and one in trunk mode for all the interfaces of my company, and I had the following error message when trying to go from version 2.6 to version 2.7

                                      "hwrm_cfa_l2_filter_alloc command returned invalid params error"photo_4985960751936154709_y.jpg what i can do with this?

                                      Going from version 2.5.2 to version 2.6 there was no problem but now I have the problem with this latest update.

                                        It's an error from the updated bnxt driver. Is the NIC still functioning as expected?

                                        That's not an upgrade problem though, you should probably start a new thread for that.

                                            Probably this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14569

                                            Or rather this: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269133
