Barracuda Networks 5.0.3 Generate the Mapping Data, Apply the Mapping Data, Proceed to the Update

Page 22

Step 2: Generate the Mapping Data

•Log-in to the unit via ssh as root and issue the following command:

CreateMACMapping

Running this program multiple times will do no harm.

•Copy the output lines of the program beginning with CM and those beginning with CI to the clipboard.

Step 3: Apply the Mapping Data

•On standalone units, open the Box Network Configuration within Barracuda NG Admin.

On NG CC-managed units, open the Box Network Configuration within Barracuda NG Admin on the respective Barracuda NG Control Center.

•Paste the content of the clipboard to Network > Interfaces > MAC Mapping (only visible in Advanced configuration mode).

•Set Use Assignment to yes.

•Click Send Changes followed by Activate.

Step 4: Proceed to the Update

•Upgrade the unit following the standard 5.0.3 upgrade procedure as described in Determine Your Update Scenario, page 13.

When the update process is finished, please verify if all interfaces are correctly mapped.

In case the linux kernel 2.4 assigned the interfaces in the same order as the linux kernel 2.6 did, the following message will be generated into the 5.0.x box network activation log:

No difference found between configured and detected MAC to interface mapping

In this case you may disable MAC mapping. This will make the configuration hardware-independent, providing you with more flexibility in case hardware will be changed somewhen in the future.

Further advice about updating standard hardware is available through the Barracuda Networks support.
