200A Upgrading to 2 x 200B in HA mode?

JnascECSI · ‎07-26-2010

I' m in the process of upgrading too 2 x 200B' s in HA mode from a 200A just waiting on the new appliance' s to arrive. Has anyone successfully done a upgrade like this using the config from the 200A and bringing it into the 200B' s? I know i will have to change the names on the ports in the 200B' s to match what' s in the 200A but beside that should it be pretty straight forward?

You should decide to select accelerated ports to use for the right lan. (ports 13-16). Ports 1-8 are 10/100 and port 9-12 are 1000 Mb but not accelerated. Use same firmware on both boxes and then do your find / replace. CHeers, Eric

Thanks Eric, Currently in the 200A i' m only using WAN1,DMZ1,DMZ2 and the Internal Port. I figured that i would just re-assign them to the accelerated ports for now and then when i start re-doing our topology layout for the newtork i' d use the 4 non-accelarated ports for the additional lans i' m setting up.
