20 Release and Migration Notes - Migrating from phion netfence to Barracuda NG Firewall 5.0.3
Migrating from phion netfence
to Barracuda NG Firewall 5.0.3
Release version 5.0 of Barracuda NG Firewall was a switchpoint for customers that have been using
phion netfence before. With release 5.0, phion netfence was replaced by Barracuda NG Firewall.
Apart from the new features and a new interface design, the usage concepts and system architecture
stay the same.
Default Management IP Address and Default Password
Note that, already with release version 4.2, the default management IP address for all Barracuda NG
Firewall appliances, NG Control Centers and Virtual Appliances was changed to 192.168.200.200.
However, on legacy phion appliances and phion management centres, the management IP address
didn’t change.
The default root password, no matter which hardware is used, was at the same time changed to
ngf1r3wall
Issues and Restrictions when Updating from phion netfence
If you are migrating from phion netfence 4.2.x to Barracuda NG Firewall 5.0.3 on standard hardware, you need to
apply hotfix 386 before migrating from 4.2.x to 5.0.3 in order to make use of the MAC-to-eth mapping feature that
will help you to keep the port labeling as it is.
Please see Updating Standard Hardware from 4.2.x to 5.0.3, page 21, in this case.
Please consult the Barracuda Networks Technical Support for in-depth information on the migration process on certain
standard hardware.
