Global Technology Associates GBWA200501-01 manual Merging Configurations Using GBAdmin

4 – Troubleshooting 51

Note

Those upgrading from GNAT Box System Software version 2.x or lower should record all configuration data and use it as a guide to enter new configuration data manually. You may use the web interface to print the configuration or manually record it.

1)Once you have installed GB-Ware on a Compact Flash card or hard drive, power up the GB-Ware firewall.

2)Overwrite the default GB-Ware configuration with your network in- formation. See the configuration chapter for instructions on entering this information.

If you have installed the SIO (“serial console only”) version of the runtime, when the boot process is complete, the firewall will be un- registered and configured with factory default settings; use the web interface, GBAdmin or the serial console to enter your network set- tings. If you have installed the video console version of the GNAT Box runtime, use the video console’s Setup Wizard.

3)Access the GB-Ware firewall on its protected network interface to test firewall connectivity.

Note

For the upgrade, connectivity with the protected network interface is particularly important; you will use the protected interface to connect to the GB-Ware firewall using GBAdmin or the web interface, and transfer the GB-Ware firewall configuration.

Merging Configurations Using GBAdmin

Unless you are uploading a new version of GNAT Box System Software to the same firewall, you will need to merge the configuration of the old firewall with the new GB-Ware configuration. Configuration merging can currently only be achieved by using GBAdmin.

1)Start your new version of GBAdmin. (In Windows, go to Start Menu/ Programs/GTA/GB-Ware 3.x.x/GBAdmin.)

2)Make sure the GB-Ware firewall is powered on and connectivity is possible.

3)In GBAdmin, click File then Open. Select the NETWORK radio button. In the SOURCE field, enter the GB-Ware firewall’s protected network interface IP address. Click the OK button.
