Migrating from phion netfence to Barracuda NG Firewall 5.0.3

Release version 5.0 of Barracuda NG Firewall was a switchpoint for customers that have been using phion netfence before. With release 5.0, phion netfence was replaced by Barracuda NG Firewall.

Apart from the new features and a new interface design, the usage concepts and system architecture stay the same.

If you are migrating from phion netfence 4.2.x to Barracuda NG Firewall 5.0.3 on standard hardware, you need to apply hotfix 386 before migrating from 4.2.x to 5.0.3 in order to make use of the MAC-to-eth mapping feature that will help you to keep the port labeling as it is.

Please see Updating Standard Hardware from 4.2.x to 5.0.3, page 21, in this case.

Please consult the Barracuda Networks Technical Support for in-depth information on the migration process on certain standard hardware.

However, on legacy phion appliances and phion management centres, the management IP address didn’t change.
