Florin, Are you talking about running the update from the CD on an existing MNF box? I just backed the rules up from my MNF box and restored them to a running MNF2 box. Once you do, the problem is that once it's applied, it hoses the network cards. After that, everything is rather bizzarre.
This is what shows up under the network cards after the restore. Zone IP Address Subnet Mask On Boot Protocol -*- Alias Vlan Admin If I try to "Detect NIC's" I get: eth0 b44 00:... 192.168.x.x 255.255.255.0 static yes eth1 via-rhine 00:... 10.x.x.x 255.255.255.0 static yes eth2 via-rhine 00:... 216.x.x.x 255.255.255.192 static yes eth3 via-rhine 00:... eth4 via-rhine 00:... It detects the cards but APPLY just takes me back to: Zone IP Address Subnet Mask On Boot Protocol -*- Alias Vlan Admin as the only listed "network card". I can manually strip apart the configuration file and create one that is compatable with MNF2, I was just under the impression that I could restore that backed up MNF configuration file to my MNF2 box. Sorry if it sounded like I was complaining, I wasn't. I know you're the only one driving the project to believe me, I'm thankful for all we get from you! :) Thanks, Jim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of florin Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 3:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Security Firewall] MNF1 Config ---> MNF2 Hi Jim, The truth is the update should "almost" work ... but some fields have been slightly modified in the /var/lib/naat-configuration (versus MNF2) so some manual adjustement may be required. I didn't have time to fully test this for the moment. I had some feedback about this saying that the template were not applied during this process and services not restarted. So, after update, restart the service and use the web interface to change something ... in this way the template will be applied and the service restarted ... I will test this in order to have a better look but you guy can also test this in order to speed things up ... I can't be everywhere ... for the moment ... but I'm working on it ;o) have a nice day, On Apr 3, 2005 12:32 AM, Jim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Florin, > > I know we've gone over this but I found two different answers to this > question.
