If you are going to update from release version 4.2 to Barracuda NG Firewall 5.0.3, Barracuda Networks strongly
recommends to study the Barracuda NG Firewall 5.0 Migration Instructions available for download at
, as, under certain circumstances, no countermanding is possible once the updating
process was initiated.
For in-depth information about new features and changes in terminology introduced with release version 5.0, please
refer to the Barracuda NG Firewall 5.0 Migration Instructions downloadable from the same source.
Starting with Barracuda NG Firewall 4.2.13, OVA images for VMWare were made available. OVA images based on
minor release 4.2.13 have a bug which might lead to loss of the current network configuration when updating to
Barracuda NG Firewall minor release 5.0.3.
Please make sure to configure your network settings before updating virtual appliances based on 4.2.13 OVA
images using Barracuda NG Admin at least once. Also, a network activation is required.
This issue does not apply to fresh installations based on 5.0.3 OVA images.
The Barracuda NG Firewall may reboot after installation. If not, Barracuda Networks recommends performing a
manual reboot.
