Title: Moving Endian firewall 2.4 backup to new hardware. Post by: pbraithwaite on Wednesday 06 October 2010, 08:50:39 pm I have recently installed Endian 2.4 Community and it is working well. To do extra testing for configuration of firewall I took a backup of the Production firewall and imported it onto different hardware (Test). Both Production and Test firewalls have 3 NICs. After the import of the Production backup onto the Test firewall I can no longer connect to the Test firewall.
The Test firewall default install is OK and all NIC's work and connection is not a problem. After import when I log into the shell of the Test firewall I have noticed that ETH0,1,2 (default install) have changed and are now ETH3,4,5. When I check BR0 & BR1 they are still looking at ETH0 & ETH1. Is the firewall backup transportable between different hardware? If not is there a procedure to make this happen?

It worked for me. Marco Title: Re: Moving Endian firewall 2.4 backup to new hardware. Post by: pbraithwaite on Tuesday 12 October 2010, 01:10:26 pm I could not even get onto the dashboard after I had installed the backup.
