Fresh install on C2 Platform

[lukmana]

Hello,

I have 3 unit C2 (new) which is installed COS 4.0 already. I am going to install Checkpoint NGX 6.5 on them. Since COS version 4.0 did not support to NGX 6.5 , I must upgrade into COS v6.0 / 6.1. I heard from my friend is better to do a fresh install rather than upgrade because the upgrade process result will be not stable and have many errors.

I read from document that for fullfill this process, I have to prepare a Install Server and make some additional configuration like diskless partition etc.

I'm already connect the install server (v5.1) to C2 (port eth-1/mgmt) by using a cross cable. From that document too, I read that I must force C2 to boot from LAN (press L when menu is show) but the result is nothing and the device booting from local harddisk.

My question is :
1. Which MAC Address should I register at Install Server (/etc/dhcpd.conf)? Mac Address from eth1/mgmt or the others?

2. If the others, how to get the correct MAC Address to register at Install Server?

Thanks.
Lukmana

You will need to use the MAC address of the interface that is connected to the installserver, usually 'management'.
