Default Re: Upgrading from R55 to R65

Is the SmartCenter on the firewall or separate?

I'd make an upgrade_export of the R55 box before you start and put it away for safekeeping.

If the SmartCenter is on the firewall, no, it's not quite that easy but close. You need to make sure you know how each interface is IP'd, what static routes are set, what proxy ARPs are set, etc.

I'd also take this time and move the SmartCenter to a separate box. You life will be much easier in the event of a failure.
